Hypo solution $$\left( {N{a_2}{S_2}{O_3}} \right) $$ is used in photography to remove the unaffected $$AgBr$$ in the form of soluble complex.
$$AgBr + 2N{a_2}{S_2}{O_3} \to \mathop {N{a_3}\left[ {Ag{{\left( {{S_2}{O_3}} \right)}_2}} \right]}\limits_{{\text{Sod}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{argentothiosulphate}}} + NaBr$$

For the four successive transition elements $$\left( {Cr,Mn,Fe\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,Co} \right),$$ the stability of + 2 oxidation state will be there in which of the following order?
$$\left( {{\text{At}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{no}}{\text{.}}} \right.\,Cr = 24,Mn = 25,$$ $$\left. {Fe = 26,Co = 27} \right)$$
This can be understood on the basis of $${E^ \circ }$$ values for $${M^{2 + }}/M.$$
\[\underset{{{M}^{2+}}/M}{\mathop{{{E}^{\circ }}/V}}\,\,\,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\\
\\
-0.90
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Cr}}\,\,\,\,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\\
\\
-1.18
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Mn}}\,\,\,\,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\\
\\
-0.44
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Fe}}\,\,\,\,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\\
\\
-0.28
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Co}}\,\]
$${E^ \circ }$$ value for $$Mn$$ is more negative than expected from general trend due to extra stability of half-filled
electronic configuration of $$M{n^{2 + }}\,ion.$$
Thus, the correct order should be $$Mn > Cr > Fe > Co$$
An examination of $${{E^ \circ }}$$ values for redox couple $${M^{3 + }}/{M^{2 + }}$$ shows that $$C{r^{2 + }}$$ is strong reducing agent $$\left( {E_{{M^{3 + }}/{M^{2 + }}}^ \circ = 0.41V} \right)$$ and liberates $${H_2}$$ from dilute acids.
$$2C{r^{2 + }}\left( {aq} \right) + 2{H^ + }\left( {aq} \right) \to $$ $$2C{r^{3 + }}\left( {aq} \right) + {H_2} \uparrow \left( g \right)$$
∴ The correct order is $$Mn > Fe > Cr > Co.$$

When acidified $${K_2}C{r_2}{O_7}$$ solution is added to $$S{n^{2 + }}$$ salts, then $$S{n^{2 + }}$$ changes to
