JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 4. d and f- block elements

The disproportionation of \(MnO _{4}^{2-}\) in acidic medium resulted in the formation of two manganese compounds \(A\) and \(B\). If the oxidation state of \(Mn\) in \(B\) is smaller than that of \(A\), then the spin-only magnetic moment \((\mu)\) value of \(B\) in \(BM\) is \(.........\) (Nearest integer)

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(MnO _{4}^{2-} \stackrel{ H ^{+}}{\longrightarrow} MnO _{4}^{-}+ MnO _{2}\) No. of unpaired \(\overline{ e }=3\) \(\therefore \mu=\sqrt{15}=3.877\) Nearest Integer \(=4\)
