  1. A 118.93
  2. B 23.78
  3. C 64
  4. D 54.93
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 23.78

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In acidic medium \(\mathrm{Mn}^{7+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\) Therefore, \(n\) factor \((n)=5\) \(\text {Equivalent weight }=\frac{\text { Weight } \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}}{n \text { - factor }}=\frac{119}{5}=23.8\) Hence, the correct option is (2).
