    When\[X{{O}_{2}}\]is fused with an alkali metal hydroxide in presence of an oxidizing agent such as\[KN{{O}_{3}};\] a dark green product is formed which disproportionaltes= in acidic solution to afford a dark purple solution X is: [JEE Main 16-4-2018]

    A)  Cr                              

    B)  V

    C)  Ti                               

    D)  Mn

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\underset{(green)}{\mathop{Mn{{O}_{2}}+2KOH+KN{{O}_{3}}\to {{K}_{2}}Mn{{O}_{4}}+KN{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\] Disproportionation reaction is as following: \[\underset{(purple)}{\mathop{MnO_{4}^{-}2+4{{H}^{+}}\to 2MnO_{4}^{-}+Mn{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\]
