Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 14.2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 \mathrm{KMnO}_4 \xrightarrow{300^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \underbrace{\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{MnO}_4+\mathrm{MnO}_2}_{\text {Solid residue }}+\mathrm{O}_2\) Molecular weight of \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4=158 \mathrm{u}\) Mole \(=0.1\)…
