In alkaline medium, H_(2)O_(2) reacts with Fe^(3+) and Mn^(2+) respect

1.	In alkaline medium, H_(2)O_(2) reacts with Fe^(3+) and Mn^(2+) respectively to give
Answer» `Fe^(4+) , and Mn^(4+)` `Fe^(2+) and Mn^(2+)` `Fe^(2+) and Mn^(4+)` `Fe^(4+) and Mn^(2+)` SOLUTION :The maximum O.S. of Fe is +3 , THEREFORE, `Fe^(3+)` can only be reduced by `H_(2)O_(2)`. In contrast , the minimum stable O.S. of Mn is +2 , therefore can be further oxidised by `H_(2)O_(2)` to + 4 oxidation state. In other words, in alkaline medium, `H_(2)O_(2)` . reduces `Fe^(3+)` to `Fe^(2+)` but is oxidises `Mn^(2+)` to `Mn^(4+)` THUS, OPTION (c) is correct.
