The green paramagnetic species formed by heating KMnO4 at 513 K is

  1. KO2
  2. K2MnO4
  3. Mn3O4
  4. MnO

Answer

(2) K2MnO4

Solution

Thermal decomposition of potassium permanganate at 513 K proceeds as:

2KMnO4 513 K K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2

Potassium manganate (K2MnO4) is dark green in colour and contains Mn(VI) with 3d1 configuration, making it paramagnetic.
