Question

F2 formed by reacting K2MnF6 with (A)  SbF5  (B)  MnF3  (C)  KSbF6  (D)  MnF4

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Stronger Lewis acid, SbF5 displaces the weaker one (MnF4) from its salt. MnF4 is unstable and readily decompose to give MnF3 and fluorine. K2MnF6+2SbF5 xrightarrow[]2KsbF5+ undersetunstable mathopMnF4 2MnF4 xrightarrow[]2MnF3+F2

Q. $F_{2}$ formed by reacting $K_{2} M n F_{6}$ with

$S b F_{5}$

$M n F_{3}$

$K S b F_{6}$

$M n F_{4}$

Stronger Lewis acid, $S b F_{5}$ displaces the weaker one $(M n F_{4})$ from its salt. $M n F_{4}$ is unstable and readily decompose to give $M n F_{3}$ and fluorine. $K_{2} M n F_{6} + 2 S b F_{5} 2 Ks b F_{5} + u n s t ab l e M n F_{4}$
$2 M n F_{4} 2 M n F_{3} + F_{2}$
