When $$KMn{O_4}$$ solution is added to oxalic acid solution, the decolourisation is slow in the beginning but becomes instantaneous after some time because
A
$$C{O_2}$$ is formed as the product
B
reaction is exothermic
C
$$MnO_4^ - $$ catalyses the reaction
D
$$M{n^{2 + }}$$ acts as autocatalyst

238.
Which one of the following species is stable in aqueous solution ?
A
$$C{r^{2 + }}$$
B
$$MnO_4^{2 - }$$
C
$$MnO_4^{3 - }$$
D
$$C{u^ + }$$
Answer :
$$MnO_4^{2 - }$$
In $$MnO_4^{2 - }$$ manganese is in $$+ 6$$ oxidation state which is having highest stability. $$MnO_4^{2 - }$$ disproportionates in neutral or acidic solution.
$$3MnO_4^{2 - } + 4{H^ + } \to $$ $$2MnO_4^{2 - } + Mn{O_2} + 2{H_2}O$$
239.
In which of the following pairs are both the ions coloured in aqueous solution?
$$\left( {{\text{At}}{\text{. no}}{\text{.}}\,Sc = 21,Ti = 22,} \right.$$ $$\left. {Ni = 28,Cu = 29,Co = 27} \right)$$
A
$$N{i^{2 + }},T{i^{3 + }}$$
B
$$S{c^{3 + }},T{i^{3 + }}$$
C
$$S{c^{3 + }},C{o^{2 + }}$$
D
$$N{i^{2 + }},C{u^ + }$$
Answer :
$$N{i^{2 + }},T{i^{3 + }}$$
$${}_{28}Ni = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^8},4{s^2}$$
$$N{i^{2 + }} = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^8}$$
$$3{d^8}$$ ( 2 unpaired electrons)
$${}_{22}Ti = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^2},4{s^2}$$
$$T{i^{3 + }} = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^1}$$ (1 unpaired electron)
$${}_{21}Sc = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^1},4{s^2}$$
$$S{c^{3 + }} = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}$$ (no unpaired electron)
$${}_{29}Cu = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^{10}},4{s^1}$$
$$C{u^ + } = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^{10}}$$ (no unpaired electron)
Hence, in the above ions, $$N{i^{2 + }}$$ and $$T{i^{3 + }}$$ are coloured in aqueous solution due to the presence of unpaired electrons in d subshell.

The lanthanide contraction is responsible for the fact that
A
$$Zr$$ and $$Yt$$ have about the same radius
B
$$Zr$$ and $$Nb$$ have similar oxidation state
C
$$Zr$$ and $$Hf$$ have about the same radius
D
$$Zr$$ and $$Zn$$ have the same oxidation state
Answer :
$$Zr$$ and $$Hf$$ have about the same radius
The elements of second and third transition series resembles more in properties than the elements of first and second transition series. It is due to lanthanide contraction. So, due to lanthanide contraction $$Zr$$ and $$Hf$$ have the same radius and also known as twins.
