JEE Main 2022 · 25 Jul · Shift 2, Chemistry question 87

The spin-only magnetic moment value of M3+\mathrm{M^{3+}} ion (in gaseous state) from the pairs Cr3+/Cr2+\mathrm{Cr^{3+}/Cr^{2+}}, Mn3+/Mn2+\mathrm{Mn^{3+}/Mn^{2+}}, Fe3+/Fe2+\mathrm{Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}} and Co3+/Co2+\mathrm{Co^{3+}/Co^{2+}} that has negative standard electrode potential, is ______ B.M. [Nearest integer]

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 4

Negative E° only for Cr3+/Cr2+\mathrm{Cr^{3+}/Cr^{2+}}. Cr3+\mathrm{Cr^{3+}} is d3d^3: 15≈3.87\sqrt{15}\approx3.87, i.e. 4.

Answer: 4
