The charge required for the reduction of \( 1 \) mole of \( \mathrm{MnO}_{4}{ }^{-} \)to \( \mathrm{MnO}_{2} \) is

  1. A \( 1 \mathrm{~F} \)
  2. B \( 3 \mathrm{~F} \)
  3. C \( 5 \mathrm{~F} \)
  4. D 7 F
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 3 \mathrm{~F} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the reaction
\( \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+3 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{MnO}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \)
\( 3 \mathrm{~F} \) of charge required to convert \( 1 \) mole of \( \mathrm{MnO}_{4}{ }^{-} \)to \( \mathrm{MnO}_{2} \)
