When \(XO_2\)  is fused with an alkali metal hydroxide in presence of an oxidizing agent such as \(KNO_3,\) a dark green product is formed which disproportionates in acidic solution to afford a dark purple solution. \(X\)  is

  1. A \(Mn\)
  2. B \(Cr\)
  3. C \(V\)
  4. D \(Ti\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(Mn\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Mn{O_2} + KOH + KN{O_3} \to \mathop {{K_2}Mn{O_4}}\limits_{(dark\,\,green)} + KN{O_2} + {H_2}O\) \(MnO_4^{2 - } + 4{H^ + }\xrightarrow[{tionation}]{{dispropor}}\mathop {2MnO_4^ - }\limits_{(dark\,purple)} + Mn{O_2} + 2{H_2}O\)
