Is MnO a catalyst?

MnO can act as a catalyst in certain reactions, such as the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. However, its catalytic activity depends on the specific reaction and conditions.


Why isCro42- a strong oxidising agent but Mno42- not?

CrO₄²⁻ (chromate ion) is a strong oxidizing agent because it can readily accept electrons due to its high oxidation state of chromium, allowing it to facilitate oxidation reactions. In contrast, MnO₄⁻ (permanganate ion) is a strong oxidizing agent, but MnO₄²⁻ (manganate ion) is less effective because manganese in the +6 oxidation state (in MnO₄²⁻) is less willing to accept electrons compared to chromium in CrO₄²⁻. The effective oxidation states and the stability of the resulting products after reduction contribute to the differences in their oxidizing strengths.


Which anion decolourises a small amount of permanganate on warming?

The anion that decolourises a small amount of permanganate on warming is the manganate ion (MnO₄²⁻) or, more commonly, the oxalate ion (C₂O₄²⁻). When oxalate is present, it reduces permanganate (MnO₄⁻) to manganese(II) ions (Mn²⁺), causing the purple color of permanganate to fade. This reaction is often used in redox titrations.


When the equation below is balanced what will be the correct set of coefficients KMnO and iquest plus MgS and aelig K and frac12S plus Mg(MnO and iquest) and frac12?

To balance the equation involving KMnO₄ and MgS, we first need to identify the correct stoichiometric coefficients for each compound. The balanced equation will have coefficients that maintain the same number of each type of atom on both sides. The correct coefficients are 2 for KMnO₄, 1 for MgS, 2 for K₂S, and 1 for Mg(MnO₄)₂. Thus, the balanced equation is: 2 KMnO₄ + MgS → K₂S + Mg(MnO₄)₂.


What happen when heated mno2 and kclo3?

When manganese dioxide (MnO₂) is heated with potassium chlorate (KClO₃), it acts as a catalyst in the decomposition of potassium chlorate. The heat causes KClO₃ to break down into potassium chloride (KCl) and oxygen gas (O₂). The presence of MnO₂ speeds up this reaction, allowing the decomposition to occur at a lower temperature. The overall reaction is: 2 KClO₃ → 2 KCl + 3 O₂.
