  4. D \(+7,+4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(+7,+4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The disproportionation reaction for \(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{2-}\) occurs as follows : \(3 \stackrel{+6}{\mathrm{MnO}_4^{2-}}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+} \longrightarrow \stackrel{+4}{\mathrm{MnO}_2}+2 \stackrel{+7}{\mathrm{M} n} \mathrm{MO}_4^{-}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) Hence,…
