Why is Fe³⁺ stable, whereas Mn³⁺ is unstable in acidic solution?

1. O2 oxidises Mn2+ to Mn3+
2. O2 oxidises both Mn+2 to Mn+3 and Fe2+ to Fe3+
3. Fe3+ oxidises H2O to O2
4. Mn3+ oxidised H2O to O2

Which of the following statements about Re–Re bonding in [Re₂X₈]²⁻ is incorrect?

1. The Re–Re bond length is abnormally short.
2. The Re–Re bond consists of one σ bond, two π bonds, and one δ bond.
3. If the Re–Re bond is taken along the z-axis, the square-planar ReX₄ unit
       uses s, pₓ, pᵧ, and dₓ²₋ᵧ² orbitals for forming four Re–X σ bonds.
4. dₓᵧ orbitals overlap to form the δ bond.

The fusion of chromite ore (FeCr2O4) with Na2CO3 in air gives a yellow solution upon the addition of water. Subsequent treatment with H2SO4 produces an orange solution.

The yellow and orange colours, respectively, are due to the formation of:

1. Na2CrO4 and Na2Cr2O7

2. Cr(OH)3 and Na2Cr2O7

3. Cr2(CO3)3 and Fe2(SO4)3

4. Cr(OH)3 and Na2CrO4
