Identify correct statements from below: Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- B, D, E only
- A, B, C only
- A, D, E only
- B, C, D only
Answer
(1) B, D, E only
Solution
A: CrO42- is tetrahedral ⇒ A is false
B: 2Na2CrO4 + 2H+ Na2Cr2O7 + 2Na+ + H2O ⇒ B is true
C: MnO42-: Mn(+6) = 3d1 ⇒ one unpaired electron ⇒ paramagnetic ⇒ C is false
D: 3MnO42- + 4H+ 2MnO4- + MnO2 + 2H2O ⇒ D is true
E: higher oxidation state ⇒ more covalent, more acidic oxide (e.g. Mn2O7 covalent, MnO ionic) ⇒ E is true
∴ B, D, E only
Answer: (1)
