In acidic medium, which of the following becomes colourless?
Options
- AMnO ₄⁻
- BMnO ₄²⁻
- CCrO ₄²⁻
- DFeO ₄²⁻
Correct answer
A. MnO ₄⁻
Step-by-step solution
MnO ₄⁻ changes from purple to colourless in acidic solution while MnO ₄²⁻ is stable in acidic medium. Yellow coloured CrO ₄²⁻ changes to orange coloured Cr ₂ O ₇²⁻ on acidifying and FeO ₄²⁻ decomposes.
