Assuming complete ionisation, same moles of which of the following compounds will

require the least amount of acidified KMnO₄ for complete oxidation?

1. FeSO₄

2. FeSO₃

3. FeC₂O₄

4. Fe(NO₂)₂

The reason for lanthanoid contraction is:

1. Negligible screening effect of 'f' orbitals

2. Increasing nuclear charge

3. Decreasing nuclear charge

4. Decreasing screening effect

A diamagnetic lanthanoid ion among the following is :

(At. numbers:  Ce = 58, Sm = 62, Eu = 63, Yb = 70)

1. Ce²⁺

2. Eu²⁺

3. Sm²⁺

4. Yb²⁺

KMnO₄ can be prepared from K₂MnO₄ as per reaction

$3{\mathrm{MnO}}_4^{2-} + 2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\rightleftharpoons 2{\mathrm{MnO}}_4^{-} + {\mathrm{MnO}}_2 + 4{\mathrm{OH}}^{-}$

The reaction can go to completion by removing OH^- ions by adding

1. HCl

2. KOH

3. CO₂

4. SO₂
