Consider the following statements about manganate and permanganate ions. Identify the correct statements. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A and D Only
  2. A, B and C Only
  3. A, C and D Only
  4. A, D and E Only

Answer

(1) A and D Only

Solution

A. True: both MnO42- and MnO4- are tetrahedral.

B. False: Mn is +6 in manganate ( MnO42-) and +7 in permanganate (MnO4-).

C. False: 2Mn2+ + 5S2O82- + 8H2O 2MnO4- + 10SO42- + 16H+, i.e. permanganate is formed.

D. True: MnO42- has Mn(VI), 3d1 (one unpaired electron) paramagnetic; MnO4- has Mn(VII), 3d0 diamagnetic.

E. False: acidified permanganate oxidises (not reduces) oxalate, nitrite and iodide ions.
