Transition and InnerTransition Elements - Result Question 1
1. Thermal decomposition of a Mn compound $(X)$ at $513 K$ results in compound $(Y), MnO _2$ and a gaseous product. $MnO _2$ reacts with $NaCl$ and concentrated $H _2 SO _4$ to give a pungent gas $Z$. $X, Y$ and $Z$, respectively, are

(b) $K _2 MnO _4, KMnO _4$ and $SO _2$
(c) $KMnO _4, K _2 MnO _4$ and $Cl _2$
(d) $K _2 MnO _4, KMnO _4$ and $Cl _2$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 1. (c)
Solution:
Thermal decomposition of $Mn$ compound $(X)$, i.e. $KMnO _4$ at $513 K$ results in compound $Y$ (i.e. $\left.K _2 MnO _4\right), MnO _2$ and a gaseous product. $MnO _2$ reacts with $NaCl$ and concentrated $H _2 SO _4$ to give a pungent gas $Z$ (i.e. $Cl _2$ ). The reactions involved are as follows :
