MCQ
In acid solution, the reaction $MnO_4^ - \, \to \,M{n^{2 + }}$ involves
  • A
    Oxidation by $3$ electrons
  • B
    Reduction by $ 3 $ electrons
  • C
    Oxidation by $5 $ electrons
  • Reduction by $5$  electrons

Answer

Correct option: D.
Reduction by $5$  electrons
(d)$MnO_4^ - \to M{n^{2 + }}$. In this reaction $5{e^ - }$are needed for the reduction of $M{n^{2 + }}$ as:$MnO_4^ - + 5{e^ - } \to M{n^{2 + }}$.
