Redox Reactions

The reaction, 10FeSO₄ + 2KMnO₄ + 8H₂SO₄ → 2MnSO₄ + 5Fe(SO₄)₃ + K₂SO₄ + 8H₂O is an example of reaction of 

• disproportionation

• intermolecular redox

• intramolecular redox

• None of these

Standard electrode potential data are useful for understanding the suitability of an oxidant in a redox titration. Some half cell reactions and their standard potentials are given below
