Q.
Manganese (VI) has ability to disproportionate in acidic solution. The difference in oxidation states of two ions it forms in acidic solution is _____
MnO42− disproportionates in a neutral or acidic solution to give MnO4−and Mn+4 3MnO42−+3H+⟶2MnO4−+MnO2+2H2O
O.S. of Mn in MnO4−=+7
O.S. of Mn in MnO2=+4
difference =3
