Thermal decomposition of a Mn compound (X)\left(X\right) at 513K513K results in compound Y,MnO2Y, Mn{O}_{2} and a gaseous product. MnO2Mn{O}_{2} reacts with NaClNaCl and concentrated H2SO4{H}_{2}S{O}_{4} to give a pungent gasZZ . X,YandZ,X, Y and Z, respectively, are:

Options

  1. AK3MnO4,K3MnO4{K}_{3}Mn{O}_{4}, {K}_{3}Mn{O}_{4} and Cl2C{l}_{2}
  2. BK2MnO4,KMnO4{K}_{2}Mn{O}_{4}, KMn{O}_{4} and Cl2C{l}_{2}
  3. CK2MnO4,KMnO4{K}_{2}Mn{O}_{4}, KMn{O}_{4} and SO2S{O}_{2}
  4. DKMnO4,K2MnO4KMn{O}_{4}, {K}_{2}Mn{O}_{4} and Cl2C{l}_{2}

Correct answer

D. KMnO4,K2MnO4KMn{O}_{4}, {K}_{2}Mn{O}_{4} and Cl2C{l}_{2}

Step-by-step solution

Potassium manganate is water soluble and so is leached out as green filtrate. MnO2 is insoluble in water and gives black residue. The oxygen gas is released in this reaction.

In the first step potassium permanganate (KMnO4)( {KMnO}_{4} ) the compound (X) decomposes on heating to give potassium manganate (K2MnO4)( {K}_{2}{MnO}_{4} ) which is the compound (Y), MnO2{MnO}_{2}and the gaseous product is oxygen.

In the second step MnO2{MnO}_{2} further reacts with NaClNaCl and concentrated sulfuric acid to give a pungent-smelling gas that is Chlorine gas (Cl2),MnSO4,Na2SO4( {Cl}_{2} ) , {MnSO}_{4}, {Na}_{2}{SO}_{4} and H2O{H}_{2}O.

2KMnO4(X)→Δ513KΔK2Mn(Y)O4+MnO2+O2(g)\mathop{2{KMnO}_{4}}_{\left(X\right)}\mathop{\to}_{\Delta}^{513K}\Delta{K}_{2}\mathop{Mn}_{( Y )}{O}_{4} + {MnO}_{2} + {O}_{2\left(g\right)}

MnO2+4NaCl+4H2SO4→MnCl2+4NaHSO4+2H2O+Cl2(g)(Z)Pungentgas{MnO}_{2} + 4NaCl + 4{H}_{2}{SO}_{4} \to {MnCl}_{2} + 4{NaHSO}_{4} + 2{H}_{2}O + \mathop{{Cl}_{2\left(g\right)}}_{\left(Z\right)Pungentgas}

The compoundX=KMnO4,Y=K2MnO4,Z=Cl2X = {KMnO}_{4}, Y = {K}_{2}{MnO}_{4}, Z = {Cl}_{2}.
