The oxidation states shown by Mn in the given reaction are :
2MnO4−+3Mn2++2H2O⟶5MnO2+4H+2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-} + 3 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} + 2 \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 5 \mathrm{MnO}_2 + 4 \mathrm{H}^{+}
A. +6
B. +4
C. +3
D. +7
E. +2
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. AA and C only
  2. BA, B and D only
  3. CB, D and E only
  4. DC, D and E only

Correct answer

C. B, D and E only

Step-by-step solution

In MnO4−\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}, let the oxidation state of Mn be xx.

x+4(−2)=−1⇒x=+7x + 4(-2) = -1 \Rightarrow x = +7

In Mn2+\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}, the oxidation state of Mn is +2+2.

In MnO2\mathrm{MnO}_2, let the oxidation state of Mn be yy.

y+2(−2)=0⇒y=+4y + 2(-2) = 0 \Rightarrow y = +4

The oxidation states shown by Mn in the given reaction are +7+7, +2+2, and +4+4.

These correspond to D, E, and B respectively.

Answer: B, D and E only
