I reacted a solution of manganese (II) chloride with sodium hydroxide, however I am unsure of the reaction.
Do the hydroxide ions displace the chloride ions or take a hydrogen from the water in the complex? Also after that reaction i added a few drops of hyrdogen peroxide, which caused a vigorous reaction and the colour to darken to a dark brown. Is the hydrogen peroxide oxidising the manganese? How do I write this as an equation?
Thanks
