Mno42- (1 mole ) in neutral aqueous medium is disproportionate to A) 2/3 mole of mno4- and 1/3 mole of mno2B) 1/3 mole of mno4- and 2/3 mole of mno2Is there is another way to solve this question without balancing and writing the whole equation. Is there is shortcut to do this question by oxidation state only . |

Answer» Here MnO42- where Mn is in +6 state disproportionates to MnO41- (where Mn is in +7) and MnO2 (where Mn is in+4). So The changes are +6 -> +7 => 1 unit increase +6 -> +4 => 2 unit decrease So to balance the redox process the ratio of number of moles of the species produced should be MnO42-: MnO2 = 2 :1 So the statement (A) supports above fact |
