  1. A \(7 \rightarrow 4\)
  2. B \(6 \rightarrow 4\)
  3. C \(7 \rightarrow 2\)
  4. D \(6 \rightarrow 2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(7 \rightarrow 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Manganese exhibits oxidation states of \(+2,+3,+4,+6\) and +7 . \(\mathrm{So}\), in acidic medium on reaction of \(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\)with \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\) it changes from 7 to 2 .
