What happens when zinc dust is added to an acidified solution of potassium permanganate?

KMno4 is reduced to Mn^2+ Salt and the pink colour is discharged by the nascent hydrogen produced when zinc reacts with h2so4


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.


What happen when potassium permanganate is added to butter?

it will get fire slowly


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.


What happens when zinc is added to the acidified potassium permanganate?

3 Zn + Cr2O72- + 14 H+ → 3 Zn2+ + 2 Cr3+ + 7 H2O


Why KMnO4 titration's are carried out only in the presence of dilute H2SO4?

The permanganate ion, MnO4- purple in colour. The sulfuric acid is added to create acidic conditions. In acidic conditions, the MnO4- gets reduced to Mn2+ which is colourless. Therefore, judging by the colour change, we can figure out how much of the potassium permanganate has been used.


Why does acidified potassium permanganate turn from purple to colorless when added to an alkene?

The purple colour is the Manganese in oxidation state '+7'. This oxidation state is reduced to '+2' ,which is pale green/colourless, when reacted with the alkene. Hence the change of colour.


Acidified solution potassium permanganate added solution sodium sulfite?

Potassium permanganate and sulfite:2MnO4-(aq) + 5SO32-(aq) + 6H+(aq) --> 5SO42- + 2Mn2+(aq) + 3H2O(l)Note:Potassium and sodium ions do NOT react, they are tribune-ions


What is the balanced eq when potassium permanganate is added to sodium bisulfite?

Potassium permanganate and bisulfite in stronger acid environment:2MnO4-(aq) + 5HSO3-(aq) + H+(aq) --> 5SO42- + 2Mn2+(aq) + 3H2O(l)Note:Potassium and sodium ions do NOT react, they are tribune-ions.


Why colour changes to pink when mohr's salt solution is added to potassium permanganate solution?

because Mn gets reduced form +7 oxidation state to +2 oxidation state and oxidizes Fe ions from +2 To +3 state and N in +2 state is colourless or of link colour


What is the test for unsaturation?

Add KMnO4 (Potassium Permanganate) which is a purple solution. If it is added to an alkene or alkyne it will turn colourless and produces a brown precipitate.


What happens when chlorine is added to silver nitrate and potassium chloride?

When clhlorine is added to silver nitrate a milky white precipitate of Silver Chloride is formed. Potassium nitrate is also formed. When chlorine is added to potassium chloride nothing visible happens but the solutiuon become more acidic.
