Formula weight of KMnO4 is 158.04. The equivalent weight depends on the reaction involved. In acidic media it is (formula weight) /5, in neutral although this is more difficult to control it is the formula weight.

Knowing which type it is usually acidic as it is easier, you will need 158.04/5 X 0.2 = 6.32g.

Sulfuric acid is usually added in the titration to ensure the correct oxidation reaction is carried out.

Also note KMnO4 is not considered a primary standard so you should really filter the solution to remove any MnO2 caused by oxidation of organic impurites in the water you are using, and standardise the solution by titration against say oxalic acid. K

Why does alkene reacts kmno4?

KMnO4 will react with compounds having unsaturation (double bond or triple bond). Since alkenes have double bond, it will react with KMnO4 and decolourize dilute KMnO4 solution.

How many moles of KMnO4 are present in 75.0 mL of a 0.0950 M solution?

Molarity = moles of solute/Liters of solution ( 75.0 ml = 0.075 Liters ) Algebraically manipulate, moles of solute = Liters of solution * Molarity Moles KMnO4 = (0.075 Liters)(0.0950 M) = 7.13 X 10 -3 moles KMnO4 ------------------------------------

What happen when ethanol is heated with alkaline kmno4 solution?

When ethanol is added to alkaline KMno4 solution, the ethanol gets oxidised to ethanoic acid due to nascent oxygen. KMno4 is an oxidising agent. thus when we first add alkaline Kmno4 to ethanol, the pink colour of the Kmno4 vanishes, as it is being used up for the oxidation process. however. when all of the ethanol has been oxidised into ethanoic acid, and we keep adding Kmno4, the colour returns, as there is no more ethanol left to oxidise.
