    The equivalent weight of \[\text{MnS}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\]is half of its molecular weight when it is converted to

    A) \[\text{M}{{\text{n}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]                           

    B) \[\text{Mn}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]

    C) \[\text{MnO}_{4}^{-}\]                                

    D) \[MnO_{4}^{2-}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\overset{+2}{\mathop{Mn}}\,S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{+4}{\mathop{Mn}}\,{{O}_{2}}\] In this conversion, there is loss of two electrons, hence equivalent weight of MnS04 is the half of its molecular weight.
