Why manganate ion (MnO(4)^(2-)) undergo ...

Why manganate ion `(MnO_(4)^(2-))` undergo disproportionation in acidic solutions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In acidic solutions manganese (VI) becomes unstable relative to manganese (VII) and manganese (IV). Thus in acidic solution manganate ion undergo disproportionation to permanganate ion and manganese dioxide.
`3MnO_(4)^(2-)+4H^(+)rarr2MnO_(2)+2H_(2)O`
