Reduction of the metal centre in aqueous permanganate ion involves


A) three electrons in neutral medium

B) five electrons in neutral medium

C) three electrons in alkaline medium

D) five electrons !n acidic medium

Answer:

Option A,C,D

Explanation:

 In neutral  medium ;  $MnO_{4}^{-}  \rightarrow   MnO_{2} (Mn^{7+} +3e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{4+})$

In  alkaline medium  :  $MnO_{4}^{-} \rightarrow MnO_{2} (Mn^{7+}+3e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{4+})$

In acidic medium:    $Mn_{4}^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2} (Mn^{7+}+5e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+})$
