The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
In the reduction of \( MnO_4^- \) to \( MnO_2 \), the manganese ion undergoes a change in oxidation state from +7 to +4, which requires 5 moles of electrons. Hence, the charge required is 5 F (Faradays).
Step 2: Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
Step 2: Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
