The oxidation reaction can be represented as:

\\

MnO

_4^{2-} \rightarrow

MnO

_4^{-} + e^- \\

This reaction shows that one mole of

MnO

_4^{2-}

releases one mole of electrons.

\\

Given:

\\

• Amount of

MnO

_4^{2-} = 0.1

mol

\\

Since 1 mole of

MnO

_4^{2-}

releases 1 mole of electrons,

\\

0.1 mol of

MnO

_4^{2-}

will release 0.1 mol of electrons.

\\

The charge of 1 mole of electrons (Faraday's constant) is

96,500

C/mol.

\\

Therefore, the total charge required is:

\\

Charge

= 0.1

mol

\times 96,500

C/mol

\\

Charge

= 9,650

C

\\

Thus, the quantity of electricity required is

9,650

C, which corresponds to Option 3.
