Given below are two statements:
Statement 1: Potassium permanganate on heating at $573 k$ forms potassium manganate
Statement 2: Both potassium permanganate and potassium manganate are tetrahedral and paramagnetic in nature.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true
Both statement 1 and statement 2 are false
Statement 1 is true but and statement 2 is false

Solution

The correct option is C
Statement 1 is true but and statement 2 is false

Answer :(C)
${KMnO}_{4}$ on heating dissociates as
$\underset{Potassium permanganate}{2 {KMnO}_{4} \overset{∆}{\to}} \underset{P o t a s s i u m m a n g a n a t e}{K_{2} M n O_{4}} + M n O_{2} + O_{2}$
Hence, option (A) Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false, is the correct option.
