Number of coulombs required for the reduction of \(1\) mol of \(MnO_4^-\ \text{to}\ Mn^{2+}\) is:

  1. A \(1.93 \times 10^5 C\)
  2. B \(4.825 \times 10^5 C\)
  3. C \(5.79 \times 10^5 C\)
  4. D \(2.89 \times 10^5 C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4.825 \times 10^5 C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Mn \text{ in } MnO_4^-: x + 4(-2) = -1 \Rightarrow x = +7\) \(\text{Change in oxidation state: } +7 \rightarrow +2 \Rightarrow 5 \text{ electrons}\) \(\text{Charge} = \text{moles of electrons} \times F\) \(= 5 \text{ mol} \times 96485 \text{ C/mol}\) \(= 482425 \text{ C}\)…
