Question:

Given below are two statements.
Statement I: Iron (III) catalyst, acidified \(K_2Cr_2O_7\) and neutral \(KMnO_4\) have the ability to oxidise \(I^–\) to \(I_2\) independently.
Statement II: Manganate ion is paramagnetic in nature and involves \(pπ – pπ\) bonding.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Updated On: Jul 6, 2024
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  • Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  • Statement I is false but Statement II is true

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Manganate ion \(MnO_4^{2-}\)has tetrahedral structure has only \(dπ – pπ\) \(π-bonds\).
\(Fe^{3+}\) is not used as a catalyst in the conversion of \(I^–\) to \(I_2\) by \(K_2Cr_2O_7\). 
\(K_2Cr_2O_7\) oxidise \(I^–\) in acidic medium easily.

The correct answer is (B): Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Catalysis

All reactants need to overcome certain energy, better known as activation energy in order to form products. This activation energy is the difference between the energy of the transition state and the reactant species.

Types of Catalysis:

Catalysis of chemical reactions is generally divided into two categories:

  1. Homogeneous Catalysis: Homogeneous catalysis of chemical reactions is a process where the reactants involved in the reaction and the catalyst are in the same phase. For example hydrolysis of sugar in the presence of sulphuric acid.
  2. Heterogeneous Catalysis: Heterogeneous catalysis of chemical reactions is a process where the reactants involved in the reaction and the catalyst are in different phases. For example reaction of hydrogen and nitrogen in the presence of finely divided iron to form ammonia.
