Mn(III) in water disproportionates: . Which statements are correct?

  1. A formed has five unpaired electrons.
  2. BThe reaction is a disproportionation of Mn(III) into Mn(II) and Mn(IV).
  3. CManganese in is .
  4. D is , so high-spin has .

Answer: A, B, D

The equation balances (2 Mn, 2 O, 4 H, charge +6). Mn goes from +3 to +2 and +4, so it is a disproportionation. is (4.90 BM) and is (5 unpaired). Mn(IV) in is , not .
