In some old European churches, the stained-glass windowshave so darkened from corrosion and age that hardly anylight comes through. Microprobe analysis showed that tinycracks anddefects on the glass surface were enriched ininsoluble Mn(III) and Mn(IV) compounds. From AppendixE, suggest a reducing agent and conditions that might successfullyconvert thesecompounds to soluble Mn(II) withoutsimultaneously reducing Fe(III) (which gives the glassits colors) to Fe(II). Take MnO2 as representative of theinsoluble Mn(III) and Mn(IV) compounds.
A galvanic cell is based on the following half-reactions: In this cell, the copper compartment contains a copper electrode and [Cu2+] = 1.00 M, and the vanadium compartment contains a vanadium electrode and V2+ at an unknown concentration. The compartment containing the vanadium (1.00 L of solution) was titrated with 0.0800 M H2EDTA2, resulting in the reaction H2EDTA2(aq)+V2+(aq)VEDTA2(aq)+2H+(aq)K=? The potential of the cell was monitored to determine the stoichiometric point for the process, which occurred at a volume of 500.0 mL H2EDTA2 solution added. At the stoichiometric point, was observed to be 1 .98 V. The solution was buffered at a pH of 10.00. a. Calculate before the titration was carried out. b. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, K, for the titration reaction. c. Calculate at the halfway point in the titration.
