Chemistry Question on d -and f -Block Elements

MnO3MnO_3 in an acidic medium dissociates into

A

MnO2MnO_2 and MnO4MnO_4^{-}

B

MnOMnO and MnO4MnO_4^{-}

C

MnO2MnO_2 and MnOMnO

D

MnO2MnO_2 and MnO3MnO_3

Answer

MnO2MnO_2 and MnO4MnO_4^{-}

Explanation

Solution

In acidic solution, manganese (VI) becomes unstable and undergo disproportionation to form manganese (VII) and manganese (IV) \underset{\text{5MnO{3}}}{ {VI}} +2H+> {+ 2H^+ ->} \underset{\text{3MnO{2}}}{ {IV}} \underset{\text{+ 2MnO_{4}^-}}{ {VII}} +H2O {+ H2O}
