Question

The oxidation state of manganese in K2MnO4 is:
  1. +5
  2. +6
  3. +4
  4. +7

A
+6
B
+7
C
+5
D
+4
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Potassium oxidation number is +1, Oxygen oxidation number is 2.
For K2MnO4:
2(+1)+oxidation number of Mn+4(2)=0
2+Oxidation number of Mn8=0
Oxidation number of Mn=+6.
So answer is B.
