Acidified potassium permanganate solution oxidises oxalic acid. The spin-only magnetic moment of the mangenese product formed from the above reaction is ______ B.M. (Nearest Integer)

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 6

Product. Acidic permanganate is reduced to Mn2+\mathrm{Mn^{2+}}, d5d^5 with 5 unpaired electrons: 35≈5.92≈6\sqrt{35}\approx5.92\approx6 BM.

Answer: 6
