MCQ
Potassium permagnate works as oxidising agent both in acidic and basic medium. In both state product obtained by $KMn{O_4}$ is respestively
  • A
    $MnO_2^ - $ and $M{n^{3 + }}$
  • B
    $M{n^{3 + }}$ and $M{n^{2 + }}$
  • C
    $M{n^{2 + }}$ and $M{n^{3 + }}$
  • $Mn{O_2}$ and $M{n^{2 + }}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$Mn{O_2}$ and $M{n^{2 + }}$
d
(d)In alkaline medium, $KMn{O_4}$ first reduced in manganate and then in insolusle manganese dioxide.

$2MnO_4^ - + {H_2}O \to 2Mn{O_2} + 2O{H^ - } + 3[O]$

In acidic medium, Manganous sulphate formed

$MnO_4^ - + 8{H^ + } + 5{e^ - } \to M{n^{2 + }} + 4{H_2}O$.
