What is the n-factor of when it acts as an oxidizing agent in a strongly alkaline medium to form ?
- A.1Correct answer
- B.3
- C.5
- D.7
Solution
In strongly alkaline medium, is reduced to . The change in oxidation state of manganese is from +7 (in ) to +6 (in ). Therefore, the change per molecule is 1, so the n-factor is 1.
