Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

In neutral medium: $\quad \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{MnO}_2\left(\mathrm{Mn}^{7+}+3 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{4+}\right)$ In alkaline medium : $\quad \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{MnO}_2\left(\mathrm{Mn}^{7+}+3 \varepsilon^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{4+}\right)$ In acidic medium : $\quad \mathrm{Mn}_4^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\left(\mathrm{Mn}^{7+}+5 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\right)$
