    The molecular mass of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] is M. The equivalent weight of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\], when it is converted into \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] is:

    A)  \[M\]                  

    B)         \[\frac{M}{3}\]                

    C)  \[\frac{M}{5}\]                

    D)         \[\frac{M}{7}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In this conversion, the oxidation-state change of Mn is equal to 1. \[\overset{+\,7}{\mathop{KM{{O}_{4}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{+\,6}{\mathop{{{K}_{2}}Mn{{O}_{4}}}}\,\] Hence, equivalent weight of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}=\frac{\text{molecular}\,\text{mass}}{\text{change}\,\text{in}\,\text{oxidation}\,\text{state}}\] \[=\frac{M}{1}=M\]
