    A) bleaching powder

    B) white vitripl

    C) Monies salt

    D) microcosmic salt

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Mohr? s salt \[(FeS{{O}_{4}}.{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}.6{{H}_{2}}O)\] \[2KMn{{O}_{4}}+8{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+10FeS{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] \[+2MnS{{O}_{4}}+5F{{e}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}+8{{H}_{2}}O\] Hence, Mollys salt decolourises \[\text{KMn}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\]by reducing \[M{{n}^{7+}}\] ion to \[\text{M}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2+}}}\]ions.
