Chapter 22, Problem 14E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To write the chemical equation of reaction between hexafluoromanganate(IV) ion, ${\text{MnF}}_{\text{6}}{}^{\text{2}-}$, and antimony pentafluoride to give manganese(IV) fluoride and ${\text{SbF}}_6$, followed by the disproportionation of manganese(IV) fluoride to manganese(III) fluoride and ${\text{F}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)$.

Concept introduction:

A process in which chemical conversion of one set of chemical substances to other chemical substance takes place is known as chemical reaction.

It is a symbolic representation in which substances are written on right hand side is known as reactant, whereas substances which are written on left hand side are known as product. Together it is known as chemical reaction.

Disproportion reaction is the reaction in which a substance is oxidized and reduced simultaneously.
