Fusion of M n O 2 with K O H in presence of O 2 produces a salt W . Alkaline solution of W upon electrolytic oxidation yields another salt X . The manganese containing ions present in W and X , respectively, are Y and Z . Correct statement(s) is (are)
Options
- AY is diamagnetic in nature while Z is paramagnetic
- BBoth Y and Z are coloured and have tetrahedral shape
- CIn both Y and Z , π -bonding occurs between p -orbitals of oxygen and d -orbitals of manganese.
- DIn aqueous acidic solution, Y undergoes disproportionation reaction to give Z and M n O 2 .
Correct answer
B. Both Y and Z are coloured and have tetrahedral shape
Step-by-step solution
M n O 2 + 2 KOH + 1 2 O 2 → Δ K 2 M n O 4 ( W ) + H 2 O Oxidation state + 6 Paramagnetic and green colored salt → shape : Tetrahedra of anion M n O 4 2- Purple coloured and tetrahedra shape
