Q71 / 180 · AIIMS 2012 · Chemistry
$\mathrm{MnO}_3$ in an acidic medium dissociates into
- Correct answerA$\mathrm{MnO}_2$ and $\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}$
- B$\mathrm{MnO}$ and $\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}$
- C$\mathrm{MnO}_2$ and $\mathrm{MnO}$
- D$\mathrm{MnO}_2$ and $\mathrm{MnO}_3$
Solution
In acidic solution, manganese (VI) becomes unstable and undergo disproportionation to form manganese (VII) and manganese (IV)


Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
