Question
The value of standard reduction electrode potential is more than zero for how many elements of 3d series?
Solution
The standard reduction potential is a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and thereby be reduced. Each element in the 3d series (Scandium to Zinc) has a specific standard reduction potential.
To answer your question, we need to look at the standard reduction potentials of each of these elements.
- Scandium (Sc): -2.02 V
- Titanium (Ti): -1.63 V
- Vanadium (V): -1.18 V
- Chromium (Cr): -0.74 V
- Manganese (Mn): -1.18 V
- Iron (Fe): -0.44 V
- Cobalt (Co): -0.28 V
- Nickel (Ni): -0.25 V
- Copper (Cu): +0.34 V
- Zinc (Zn): -0.76 V
From the above data, we can see that only Copper (Cu) has a standard reduction potential greater than zero. So, only one element in the 3d series has a standard reduction potential greater than zero.
