NEETChemistryRedox Reactions
Which of the following statements about the disproportionation reaction of MnO 4 - in acidic medium is correct?
Options
- AMnO 4 - undergoes disproportionation in acidic medium due to the reduction of Mn(VII) to Mn(II).
- BMnO 4 - does not undergo disproportionation in acidic medium because it remains stable.
- CMnO 4 - undergoes disproportionation in acidic medium due to the oxidation of Mn(VII) to Mn(II).
- DMnO 4 - does not undergo disproportionation in acidic medium because it is already in its highest oxidation st
Correct answer
D. MnO 4 - does not undergo disproportionation in acidic medium because it is already in its highest oxidation st
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) MnO 4 - does not undergo disproportionation in acidic medium because it is already in its highest oxidation state.
