MnO(4)^(2-) undergoes disproportionation...

`MnO_(4)^(2-)` undergoes disproportionation reaction in acidic medium but `MnO_(4)^(-)` does not. Given reason.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why `MnO4^(2-)` undergoes disproportionation in acidic medium while `MnO4^(-)` does not, we need to analyze the oxidation states of manganese in both species and the concept of disproportionation. ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation state of manganese in `MnO4^(2-)` - The formula for `MnO4^(2-)` indicates that there are 4 oxygen atoms, each contributing an oxidation state of -2. - The overall charge of the ion is -2. - Let the oxidation state of manganese be \( x \). \[ ...
