1. Manganate & Permanganate (MnO4- & MnO42-)

(i) Methods of Preparation

a) Preparation of Manganate (MnO42–) :

Some Important Compounds of Transition Elements | Chemistry Class 12 - NEETSome Important Compounds of Transition Elements | Chemistry Class 12 - NEET

In presence of KClO3 & KNO3 the above reaction is more faster because these two on decomposition provides O2 easily.

Manganate is also obtained when KMnO4 is boiled with KOH.

4 KMnO4  + 4KOH Some Important Compounds of Transition Elements | Chemistry Class 12 - NEET 4K2MnO4  + 2H2O + O2

b) Another Method of Preparation: 

3K2MnO4 + 2H2SO→ 2KMnO4 + MnO2 + 2K2SO+ 2H2O

or 3K2MnO4 + 2H2O + 4CO2 → 2KMnO4 + MnO2 + 4KHCO3

But in the above method Some Important Compounds of Transition Elements | Chemistry Class 12 - NEET of Mn is lost as MnO2 but when oxidised either by Cl2or by O3

2K2MnO4 + Cl2 → 2KMnO4 + 2KCl                                     [Unwanted MnO2 does not form]

OR

2K2MnO4 + O3 + H2O → 2KMnO4 + 2KOH + O2

(ii) Properties : 

The above green solution is quite stable in alkali, but in pure water and in presence of acids, depositing MnO2 and giving a purple solution of permanganate.

(iii) Oxidising Properties of KMnO4 in Different Mediums

1. Oxidising Property of KMnO4 in Acidic Medium:

  • MnO4 + Fe +2 +  H+  → Fe +3 + Mn +2 + H2O
  • MnO4-  +I-  +H+→ Mn +2 + I2 + H2O
  • MnO4-  + H2O2 + H+  → Mn +2 + O2 + H2O
  • MnO4-  + SO2 Some Important Compounds of Transition Elements | Chemistry Class 12 - NEET Mn +2  +H2SO4
  • MnO4- + NO2-  +H+  → Mn +2 + NO3- + H2O
  • MnO4-  + H2C2O4 + H+  → Mn +2  +CO2  +H2O
  • MnO4-  + H2S → Mn+ + S¯ +H2O

(2) It is slowly reduced to MnO2 especially in presence of light or acid

4 MnO4-  +4 H+  → 4 MnO2  + 2H2O + 3O2

Hence it should be kept in dark bottles and standardise just before use.

  • 2KMnO4  + 3HCO2K → 2MnO+ KHCO3  +2K2CO3 + H2O
  • 2KMnO4 + 3H2O2 → 2MnO2  + 2KOH + 2H2O + 3O2

(i) 2KMnO4  + 3 MnSO4 + 2H2O Some Important Compounds of Transition Elements | Chemistry Class 12 - NEET 5 MnO2 + K2SO4  + 2H2SO4

or MnO4- + Mn+2  + 2H2O → 5MnO2 + 4H+
