Acidified potassium permanganate solution oxidises oxalic acid. The spin-only magnetic moment of the manganese product formed from the above reaction is \(....\,B.M.\) (Nearest Integer)

  1. A \(9\)
  2. B \(8\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 KMnO _{4}+5 H _{2} C _{2} O _{4}+3 H _{2} SO _{4} \rightarrow K _{2} SO _{4} + 2 MnSO _{4}+10 CO _{2}+8 H _{2} O\) \(Mn ^{2+}\) has \(5\) unpaired electrons therefore the magnetic moment is \(\sqrt{35}\, BM\)
