Question

The difference in the 'spin-only' magnetic moment values of $\text{KMnO}_4$ and the manganese product formed during titration of $\text{KMnO}_4$ against oxalic acid in acidic medium is ______ BM (nearest integer).

Answer 1

Spin-only magnetic moment of Mn in KMnO$_4$:
$\mu = 0$
Spin-only magnetic moment of the manganese product formed during titration of KMnO$_4$ against oxalic acid in acidic medium:
$\mu = 6 \, \text{BM}$
Difference in magnetic moments:
$6 - 0 = 6 \, \text{BM}$

Answer 2

Spin-only magnetic moment of Mn in KMnO$_4$:
$\mu = 0$
Spin-only magnetic moment of the manganese product formed during titration of KMnO$_4$ against oxalic acid in acidic medium:
$\mu = 6 \, \text{BM}$
Difference in magnetic moments:
$6 - 0 = 6 \, \text{BM}$
