The disproportionation of $\mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{2-}$ in acidic medium resulted in the formation of two manganese compounds $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$. If the oxidation state of $\mathrm{Mn}$ in $\mathrm{B}$ is smaller than that of A, then the spin-only magnetic moment $(\mu)$ value of B in BM is __________. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:
$\mathrm{Mn} \rightarrow 4 s^{2} 3 d^{5}$
$\mathrm{Mn}^{+4} \rightarrow 3 d^{3}$
$ \mathrm{n}=3 $
$ \begin{aligned} \mu &=\sqrt{n(n+2)} \\\\ &=\sqrt{3(5)} \\\\ &=\sqrt{15} \\\\ &=3.87 \approx 4 \text { B.M. } \end{aligned} $
The spin-only magnetic moment value of the compound with strongest oxidizing ability among $\mathrm{MnF}_{4}, \mathrm{MnF}_{3}$ and $\mathrm{MnF}_{2}$ is ____________ B.M. [nearest integer]
Explanation:
$ \left[\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Mn}^{+3} / \mathrm{Mn}^{+2}}^{\circ} \simeq 1.57 \mathrm{~V} \\ \& \,\,\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Mn}^{+4} / \mathrm{Mn}^{+2}}^{\circ} \simeq 1.2 \mathrm{~V} \end{array}\right] $
So, spin only magnetic moment
$ =\sqrt{4(4+2)}=\sqrt{24} \text { B.M. } $
$\simeq 5$
Among Co3+, Ti2+, V2+ and Cr2+ ions, one if used as a reagent cannot liberate H2 from dilute mineral acid solution, its spin-only magnetic moment in gaseous state is ___________ B.M. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:
$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Co}^{3+}/\mathrm{Co}^{2+}}^{\mathrm{O}}=+1.97$
And $\mathrm{Co}^{3+}$ has electronic configuration $=[\operatorname{Ar}] 3 d^{6}$
$\therefore 4$ unpaired $\mathrm{e}^{-}$ are present in it
$\therefore$ Spin-only magnetic moment $=\sqrt{4(4+2)} =4.92 \approx 5$
Spin only magnetic moment of [MnBr6]4$-$ is _________ B.M. (round off to the closest integer)
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} x & =+2 \\\\ \mathrm{Mn} & =[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^5 4 s^2 \\\\ \mathrm{Mn}^{2+} & =[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^5 4 s^0 \end{aligned} $
So, number of unpaired electrons $(n)=5$
$ \begin{aligned} \mu & =\sqrt{n(n+2)} \\\\ \mu & =\sqrt{5(5+2)} \\\\ & =\sqrt{35} \\\\ & =5.91 \text { B.M. } \\\\ & \approx 6 \text { B.M. } \end{aligned} $

Explanation:
$ \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CrO}_{4}+\mathrm{H}^{+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{-2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\overset{+}{\mathrm{Na}} $
An acidified manganate solution undergoes disproportionation reaction. The spin-only magnetic moment value of the product having manganese in higher oxidation state is _____________ B.M. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:
The number of statements correct from the following for Copper (at. no. 29) is/are ____________.
(A) Cu(II) complexes are always paramagnetic.
(B) Cu(I) complexes are generally colourless
(C) Cu(I) is easily oxidized
(D) In Fehling solution, the active reagent has Cu(I)
Explanation:
(B) $\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{I})$ complexes are generally colourless due to $d^{10}$ configuration.
(C) $\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{I})$ is easily oxidised to $\mathrm{Cu}^{+2}$ in aqueous solution
$2 \mathrm{Cu}^{+} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{+2}+\mathrm{Cu}$
$\mathrm{Cu}^{+1}$ disproportionates to $\mathrm{Cu}^{+2}$ and $\mathrm{Cu}$
$\left(E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}>0\right.$ for this cell reaction in aqueous solution)
In Fehling's solution, active reagent has $\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{II})$ which is reduced to $\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{I})$ on reaction with aldehydes.
Hence (D) statement is incorrect
The spin-only magnetic moment value of the most basic oxide of vanadium among V2O3, V2O4 and V2O5 is _____________ B.M. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:
$ \mathrm{V}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}=\mathrm{V}^{+3}\left(\mathrm{~d}^{2}\right) $
Magnetic moment $=\sqrt{2(2+2)}=\sqrt{8}$
$ =2.83 \approx 3 $
Manganese (VI) has ability to disproportionate in acidic solution. The difference in oxidation states of two ions it forms in acidic solution is ____________.
Explanation:
$3 \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{2-}+4 \mathrm{H}^{+} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}+\mathrm{MnO}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$
The difference in oxidation states of $\mathrm{Mn}$ in the products formed $=7-4=3$
The difference in oxidation state of chromium in chromate and dichromate salts is ___________.
Explanation:
Dichromate ion $\rightarrow \mathrm{Cr_2O}_{7}^{2-}$, oxidation state of $\mathrm{Cr}=+6$
$\therefore $ Difference in oxidation state $=$ zero
