Identify the oxidation states of Mn , when MnO ₄²⁻ ion undergoes disproportionation reaction under acidic medíum.
Options
- A+2,+7
- B+2,+5
- C+4,+4
- D+7,+4
Correct answer
D. +7,+4
Step-by-step solution
The disproportionation reaction for MnO ₄²⁻ occurs as follows : 3 +6 MnO ₄²⁻ +4 H ⁺ +4 MnO ₂ +2 +7 M n MO ₄⁻+2 H ₂ O Hence, MnO ₄²⁻ is oxidised to MnO ₄⁻ and reduced to MnO ₂ . Thus, oxidation state of Mn when MnO ₄²⁻ undergoes disproportionation reaction under acidic medium are +7 and +4 . Hence option (d) is the correct answer.
