Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 9650 C

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The oxidation reaction of manganate ion to permanganate ion is given by: \(\mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{2-} \rightarrow \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-} + e^{-}\) In this reaction, the oxidation state of manganese changes from \(+6\) to \(+7\). Thus, \(1\) mole of \(\mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{2-}\) requires…
