The correct Answer is:
To determine the pair of compounds in which both metals are in their highest possible oxidation states, we will analyze the oxidation states of the metals in each compound. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: We need to analyze the given compounds. The compounds mentioned in the video are: - \( \text{[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}} \) - \( \text{[Co(CN)_6]^{3-}} \) - \( \text{MnO}_4^{-} \) - \( \text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2 \) - \( \text{TiO}_3 \) - \( \text{MnO}_2 \) - \( \text{MnO}_3 \) 2. **Calculate Oxidation States**: - For \( \text{[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}} \): - Let the oxidation state of Fe be \( x \). - The oxidation state of CN is -1, and there are 6 CN groups. - Therefore, \( x - 6 = -3 \) → \( x = +3 \). - For \( \text{[Co(CN)_6]^{3-}} \): - Let the oxidation state of Co be \( y \). - Similarly, \( y - 6 = -3 \) → \( y = +3 \). - For \( \text{MnO}_4^{-} \): - Let the oxidation state of Mn be \( z \). - Oxygen is -2, and there are 4 O atoms. - Therefore, \( z - 8 = -1 \) → \( z = +7 \). - For \( \text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2 \): - Let the oxidation state of Cr be \( w \). - Chlorine is -1, and there are 2 Cl atoms, and Oxygen is -2 with 2 O atoms. - Therefore, \( w - 2 - 2 = -2 \) → \( w = +6 \). - For \( \text{TiO}_3 \): - Let the oxidation state of Ti be \( v \). - Oxygen is -2, and there are 3 O atoms. - Therefore, \( v - 6 = 0 \) → \( v = +6 \). - For \( \text{MnO}_2 \): - Let the oxidation state of Mn be \( u \). - Therefore, \( u - 4 = 0 \) → \( u = +4 \). - For \( \text{MnO}_3 \): - Let the oxidation state of Mn be \( t \). - Therefore, \( t - 6 = 0 \) → \( t = +6 \). 3. **Determine Highest Oxidation States**: - **Fe**: +3 (not the highest) - **Co**: +3 (not the highest) - **Mn**: +7 (highest) - **Cr**: +6 (highest) - **Ti**: +6 (not the highest) - **Mn in MnO2**: +4 (not the highest) - **Mn in MnO3**: +6 (not the highest) 4. **Conclusion**: The pair of compounds where both metals are in their highest oxidation states is: - \( \text{MnO}_4^{-} \) (Mn in +7) - \( \text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2 \) (Cr in +6) Thus, the answer is \( \text{MnO}_4^{-} \) and \( \text{CrO}_2\text{Cl}_2 \).
