Q 3 :    

The orange colour of K2Cr2O7 and purple colour of KMnO4 is due to                            [2024]

  • Charge transfer transition in both.

     

  • d → d transitions in KMnO4 and charge transfer transitions in K2Cr2O7.

     

  • d → d transitions in K2Cr2O7 and charge transfer transitions in KMnO4.

     

  • d → d transitions in both

     

(A)

A compound is coloured if it has electronic energy levels where electrons can undergo transition by absorbing light in visible range. For most d-block elements, energy difference in d-orbitals lies in visible range. Hence due to d-d electronic transitions, these are coloured. But in K2Cr2O7 (orange) and KMnO4 (purple), central atom has no d-electron. Colour of these compounds is due to charge transfer from oxide to metal ion.

 



Q 4 :

  • MnO42- and MnO4-

     

  • Mn2O3 and MnO42-

     

  • MnO42- and Mn2O7

     

(B)

  Alkaline oxidative fusion of MnO2 gives manganate (MnO42-), which upon electrolytic oxidation gives permanganate.

  2MnO2+4KOH+O22K2MnO4+2H2O

  MnO42-Electrolytic oxidationMnO4-

  Manganate                               Permanganate

  This is commercial method of preparation of Permanganate

  • B, C, D only

     

  • A, D, E only

     

  • A, B, C only

     

  • B, D, E only

     

(D)

       (A) The chromate ion is tetrahedral in shape.

       (B) Dichromates are prepared from chromates.

       (C) In manganate ion, Mn is in +6 oxidation state, hence has one unpaired electron and is paramagnetic.

       (D) The dark green K2MnO4 disproportionates in a neutral or acidic solution to give permanganate.

               2MnO2+4KOH+O22K2MnO4+2H2O

              3MnO42-+4H+2MnO4-+MnO2+2H2O

       (E) With increase in oxidation number of central metal atom, its polarising power increases and covalent character increase and therefore, ionic character decreases.

     

 



Q 6 :    

Choose the correct statements from the following

 

A.  Mn2O7 is an oil at room temperature
B.  V2O4 reacts with acid to give VO22+
C.  CrO is a basic oxide

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:                 [2024]

  • A, B and D only

     

  • A and C only

     

  • A, B and C only

     

  • B and C only

     

(B)

        (A) Mn2O7 is a covalent green oil.

        (B) V2O4 is a basic oxide. It dissolves in acids to give VO2+ salts (not VO22+).

        (C) CrO is basic and Cr2O3 is amphoteric.

        (D) V2O5 is amphoteric. It reacts with alkalies as well as acids to give VO43- respectively.

 



Q 7 :    

Which of the following compounds show colour due to d-d transition?                  [2024]

  • K2Cr2O7

     

  • CuSO4.5H2O

     

  • KMnO4

     

  • K2CrO4

     

(B)

A compound is coloured if it has electronic energy levels where electrons can undergo transition by absorbing light in visible range. For most d block elements energy difference in d orbitals lies in visible range. Hence, due to d-d electronic transitions, These are coloured. In CuSO4.5H2O, Cu2+(3d9) splits into t2g6,eg3. d-d transition from t2g to eg makes it coloured. But in K2Cr2O7 (orange), KMnO4 (purple) and K2CrO4 (yellow), central atom has no d electron. Colour of these compounds is due to charge transfer from oxide to metal ion.
