Question
  1. Account for the following:
  1. Mn2O7 is acidic whereas MnO is basic.
  2. Though copper has completely filled d-orbital (d10) yet it is considered as a transition metal.
  3. Actinoids show wide range of oxidation states.
  1. Write the preparation of potassium permanganate from pyrolusite ore (MnO2).
✓

Answer

  1.  
  1. Because of higher oxidation state (+7) of Mn.
  2. Because it has one unpaired electron in 3d orbital in its +2 oxidation state / or it has incompletely filled d-orbital in +2 oxidation state.
  3. Because of comparable energies of 5f, 6d and 7s orbitals.
  1. $2\text{MnO}_2\text{ }+\text{ }4\text{KOH}\text{ }+\text{ }\text{O}_2\xrightarrow{\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }}2\text{K}_2\text{MnO}_4\text{ }+\text{ }2\text{H}_2\text{O}$

$3\text{MnO}_4\text{ }^{2-}+\text{ }4\text{H}^+\text{ }\xrightarrow{\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }}2\text{MnO}_4\text{ }^-+\text{MnO}_2+\text{ }2\text{H}_2\text{O}$

After watching a programme on TV about the presence of carcinogens (cancer causing agents) Potassium bromate and Potassium iodate in bread and other bakery products, Veena, a class XII student, decided to make others aware about the adverse effects of these carcinogens in foods. She consulted the school principal and requested him to instruct the canteen contractor to stop selling sandwiches, pizzas, burgers and other bakery products to the students. The principal took an immediate action and instructed the canteen contractor to replace the bakery products with some proteins and vitamins-rich food like fruits, salads, sprouts, etc. The decision was welcomed by the parents and students.
