JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2024 - 6th April Morning Shift - No. 26)

The difference in the 'spin-only' magnetic moment values of $$\mathrm{KMnO}_4$$ and the manganese product formed during titration of $$\mathrm{KMnO}_4$$ against oxalic acid in acidic medium is ________ $$\mathrm{BM}$$. (nearest integer)
Answer
6

Explanation

The 'spin-only' magnetic moment for $$\mathrm{Mn}^{7+}$$ is $$0$$ BM. During the titration of $$\mathrm{KMnO}_4$$ with oxalic acid in an acidic medium, manganese is reduced to $$\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}$$, which has a 'spin-only' magnetic moment of $$5.91$$ BM.

Thus, the difference in magnetic moment values is calculated as follows:

$$0 \, \text{BM}$$ (for $$\mathrm{Mn}^{7+}$$) subtracted from $$5.91 \, \text{BM}$$ (for $$\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}$$), which results in $$5.91 \, \text{BM}$$.

Rounding this to the nearest integer, we get a difference of approximately $$6$$ BM.
