he equivalent weight of MnSO4 is half of its molecular weight when it converts toa. Mn¬2O3 b. MnO2 c. 〖MnO〗_4^- d. 〖MnO〗_4^(2-)
Sol. Equivalent weight in redox system is defined as : E= (Molar mass)/(n-factor) Here n-factor is the net change in oxidation number per formula unit of oxidizing or reducing agent. In the present case-n-factor is 2 because equivalent weight is half of molecular weight. Also, MnSO4 → 1/2 Mn2O3 1 (+ 2 → + 3) MnSO4 → MnO2 2 (+ 2 → + 4) MnSO4 → MnO_4^- 5 (+ 2 → + 7) MnSO4 → MnO_4^(2-) 4 (+ 2 → + 6) Therefore,MnSO4 converts to MnO2.
firstly guys we know that net oxidation state of Mn in MnSo4 is Mn+(SO4)=0so,Mn+(-2)=0 (net charge of SO4=-2)Mn=2now net charge of Mn in MnO2=Mn+(-2)2 (net charge on O=-2Mn=4MnSO4-----MnO2equivalent weight =molecular weight (let M)/change in the oxidation stateequivalent weight=M/(4-2)=M/2 Thus equivalent weight of MnSO4 is half the molecular weight when it is converted to MnO2
