The correct Answer is:
To determine the changes in oxidation number for the given transformations of the permanganate ion (MnO₄⁻), we will analyze each species step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation number of Mn in MnO₄⁻ The oxidation state of manganese (Mn) in MnO₄⁻ can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Oxidation state of Mn} + 4 \times (\text{Oxidation state of O}) = \text{Charge} \] Given that the oxidation state of oxygen (O) is -2, we have: \[ x + 4(-2) = -1 \] Solving for x: \[ x - 8 = -1 \implies x = +7 \] So, the oxidation number of Mn in MnO₄⁻ is +7. ### Step 2: Determine the oxidation number of Mn in Mn²⁺ For Mn²⁺, the oxidation state is simply +2. ### Step 3: Determine the oxidation number of Mn in MnO₄²⁻ For MnO₄²⁻, we set up the equation similarly: \[ x + 4(-2) = -2 \] Solving for x: \[ x - 8 = -2 \implies x = +6 \] So, the oxidation number of Mn in MnO₄²⁻ is +6. ### Step 4: Determine the oxidation number of Mn in MnO₂ For MnO₂, we have: \[ x + 2(-2) = 0 \] Solving for x: \[ x - 4 = 0 \implies x = +4 \] So, the oxidation number of Mn in MnO₂ is +4. ### Step 5: Determine the oxidation number of Mn in Mn₂O₃ For Mn₂O₃, we can find the oxidation state of Mn as follows: \[ 2x + 3(-2) = 0 \] Solving for x: \[ 2x - 6 = 0 \implies 2x = 6 \implies x = +3 \] So, the oxidation number of Mn in Mn₂O₃ is +3. ### Summary of Changes in Oxidation Numbers 1. From MnO₄⁻ (+7) to Mn²⁺ (+2): Change = 7 - 2 = 5 2. From MnO₄⁻ (+7) to MnO₄²⁻ (+6): Change = 7 - 6 = 1 3. From MnO₄⁻ (+7) to MnO₂ (+4): Change = 7 - 4 = 3 4. From MnO₄⁻ (+7) to Mn₂O₃ (+3): Change = 7 - 3 = 4 ### Final Changes in Oxidation Numbers - MnO₄⁻ to Mn²⁺: 5 - MnO₄⁻ to MnO₄²⁻: 1 - MnO₄⁻ to MnO₂: 3 - MnO₄⁻ to Mn₂O₃: 4 ### Conclusion The changes in oxidation numbers are 5, 1, 3, and 4 respectively. ---
