Use data from Appendix 11 to predict qualitatively the outcome of the following experiment at 298 K:Cr is dissolved in excess of molar HClO₄ and the solution is shaken in air.

Data from Appendix 11

The concentration of each aqueous solution is 1 mol dm⁻³ and the pressure of a gaseous component is 1 bar (10⁵ Pa). (Changing the standard pressure to 1 atm (101 300 Pa) makes no difference to the values of E^o at this level of accuracy.) Each half-cell listed contains the specified solution species at a concentration of 1 mol dm⁻³; where the half-cell contains [OH]⁻, the value of E^o refers to [OH⁻] = 1 mol dm⁻³, hence the notation E^o_{[OH⁻] = 1}
