Why colour of ethanol changes when mix with potassium permanganate?

The purple color of the KMnO4 will change to a muddy brown.


Does the colour of potassium permanganate persist when it is added initialy to heated 3ml of ethanol?

When potassium permagnate is added initially to ethanol, ethanol gets oxidised into ethanoic acid using potassium permagnate. Thus, decolorizing potassium permagnate. When excess is added , the color of potassium permagnate persists.


Why the color of potassium perpanganate disappears if it is added to warm solution of ethanol?

When potassium permanganate reacts with ethanol, it releases oxygen. ie, an atom of oxygen thus converting the ethanol to acetic acid. Initially colour disappears because coloured permanganate ions of potassium permanganate are consumed to oxidise ethanol. C 2 H 5 OH (WITH ALKALINE KMnO 4) CH 3 COOH+H 2 O Remember :When excess is added colour does not change because there is no more alcohol left and hence there is no reaction.


Why does the colour of potassium permanganate changes to brown when react with ethanol?

The dark brown color is due to the formation of manganese dioxide (MnO2)


What household chemicals would ignite when mixed?

Ex.: oil, ethanol, organic solvents, paints etc.


What is the titrimetric analysis of ethanol in fruit wines?

estimation of alcohol content in fruit wines can be done by titrating fruit wine against potassium permanganate.


Why does the color of potassium permanganate not disappear when excess of ethanol is added to it?

KMnO4 is pink in a solution without oxidizing reagents. Adding ethanol should change it to a brown solution. If adding ethanol can not change the solution to brown, then its environment is already acidic and will not reduce.


Who discovered polyvinyl alcohol?

Polyvinyl alcohol was first prepared by Hermann and Haehnel in 1924 by hydrolyzing polyvinyl acetate in ethanol with potassium hydroxide.

Why should potassium manganate and ethanol be stored separately?

Well, if you look at the hazard symbols for potassium manganate and ethanol then you'd realise that potassium manganate is oxidising and ethanol is flammable therefore if you store them together then they can react very vigorously (if that's how you spell it) and maybe even cause a fire because the oxygen from the potassium manganate will give fuel to the fire ,maybe though. I'm not sure, it's something like that


Does potassium chloride dissolve in ethanol?

Yes. KCl will dissolve in ethanol.
