Alkaline oxidative fusion of \(MnO _2\) gives "A" which on electrolytic oxidation in alkaline solution produces B. A and B respectively are

[JEE Main 2024, 30 Jan (Shift 2)]

a

\(Mn _2 O _3\) and \(MnO _4^{2-}\)

b

\(MnO _4^{2-}\) and \(Mn _2 O _7\)

c

\(Mn _2 O _7\) and \(MnO _4^{-}\)

d

\(MnO _4^{2-}\) and \(MnO _4^{-}\)

✓ Correct answer: d)

\(MnO _4^{2-}\) and \(MnO _4^{-}\)

Explanation

Alkaline oxidative fusion of MnO2:

\(2{\mathrm{MnO}}_{2}+4{\mathrm{OH}}^{−}+{\mathrm{O}}_{2}\to 2{\mathrm{MnO}}_{4}^{2−}+2{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}\)

Electrolytic oxidation of \({\mathrm{MnO}}_{4}^{2−}\) in alkaline medium.

\({\mathrm{MnO}}_{4}^{2−}\to {\mathrm{MnO}}_{4}^{−}+{\mathrm{e}}^{−}\)
