The correct Answer is:
To determine the oxidation numbers of manganese (Mn) in the compounds \( \text{MnCl}_2 \), \( \text{Mn(OH)}_3 \), \( \text{MnO}_2 \), and \( \text{KMnO}_4 \), we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation state of Mn in \( \text{MnCl}_2 \) 1. Let the oxidation state of Mn be \( X \). 2. Chlorine (Cl) has an oxidation state of -1. Since there are 2 Cl atoms, the total contribution from Cl is \( 2 \times (-1) = -2 \). 3. The overall charge of the compound is neutral (0), so we set up the equation: \[ X + (-2) = 0 \] 4. Solving for \( X \): \[ X = +2 \] 5. Therefore, the oxidation state of Mn in \( \text{MnCl}_2 \) is **+2**. ### Step 2: Determine the oxidation state of Mn in \( \text{Mn(OH)}_3 \) 1. Let the oxidation state of Mn be \( X \). 2. The hydroxide ion (OH) has an oxidation state of -1. Since there are 3 OH groups, the total contribution from OH is \( 3 \times (-1) = -3 \). 3. The overall charge of the compound is neutral (0), so we set up the equation: \[ X + (-3) = 0 \] 4. Solving for \( X \): \[ X = +3 \] 5. Therefore, the oxidation state of Mn in \( \text{Mn(OH)}_3 \) is **+3**. ### Step 3: Determine the oxidation state of Mn in \( \text{MnO}_2 \) 1. Let the oxidation state of Mn be \( X \). 2. Oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2. Since there are 2 O atoms, the total contribution from O is \( 2 \times (-2) = -4 \). 3. The overall charge of the compound is neutral (0), so we set up the equation: \[ X + (-4) = 0 \] 4. Solving for \( X \): \[ X = +4 \] 5. Therefore, the oxidation state of Mn in \( \text{MnO}_2 \) is **+4**. ### Step 4: Determine the oxidation state of Mn in \( \text{KMnO}_4 \) 1. Let the oxidation state of Mn be \( X \). 2. Potassium (K) has an oxidation state of +1. Oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2. Since there are 4 O atoms, the total contribution from O is \( 4 \times (-2) = -8 \). 3. The overall charge of the compound is neutral (0), so we set up the equation: \[ +1 + X + (-8) = 0 \] 4. Simplifying the equation: \[ X - 7 = 0 \implies X = +7 \] 5. Therefore, the oxidation state of Mn in \( \text{KMnO}_4 \) is **+7**. ### Final Answer The oxidation numbers of Mn in the compounds \( \text{MnCl}_2 \), \( \text{Mn(OH)}_3 \), \( \text{MnO}_2 \), and \( \text{KMnO}_4 \) are respectively: - \( \text{MnCl}_2 \): **+2** - \( \text{Mn(OH)}_3 \): **+3** - \( \text{MnO}_2 \): **+4** - \( \text{KMnO}_4 \): **+7** Thus, the final answer is **+2, +3, +4, +7**.

Volumetric titrations involving KMnO_(4) , are carried out only in presence of dilute H_(2)SO_(4) but not in the presence of HCI or HNO_(3) This is because oxygen produced from KMnO_(4) + dil: H_(2)SO_(4) , is used only for oxidizing the reducing agent. Moreover, H2SO4 does not give any oxygen of its own to oxidize the reducing agent. In case HCI is used, the oxygen produced from KMnO_(4) + HCI is partly used up to oxidize HCI and in case HNO_(3) is used, it itself acts as oxidizing agent and partly oxidizes the reducing agent.
