    If\[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]is reduced by oxalic acid in an acidic medium, then oxidation number of Mn changes from

    A)  4 to 2         

    B)  6 to 4

    C)  +7 to +2      

    D)  7 to 4

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\overset{+7}{\mathop{2KMn{{O}_{4}}}}\,+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\to {{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+\overset{+2}{\mathop{2MnS{{O}_{4}}}}\,\]      \[+3{{H}_{2}}O+5[O]\] \[5{{H}_{2}}{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}+5[O]\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}10C{{O}_{2}}+5{{H}_{2}}O\] Here,\[M{{n}^{+7}}\]in\[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]has been reduced to \[M{{n}^{2+}}\]in\[MnS{{O}_{4}}\].
