What happens when potassium permanganate is mixed with hydrochloric acid?
chlorine gas is produced
What are the uses of potassium permanganate?
Potassium permanganate may be added with water and used as a disinfectant in the treatment of skin disorders. It can be used to remover sulphides and iron form well and waste water. It is used in the synthesis of ascorbic acid, saccerine and others. If mixed with concentrated hydrochloric acid it will produce chlorine gas. Mixed with concentrated sulphuric acid it becomes explosive.
What is the oxidation number of one chromium atom in potassium dichromate?
Potassium dichroamte is K2Cr2O7, in the dichroamte ion both Cr atoms have an oxidation number of +6.
Write a balanced redox equation for the oxidation of chloride to chlorine by acidified potassium dichromate?
K2Cr2O7 + 4H2SO4 + 6Cl-1----------> K2SO4 + Cr2(SO4)3 + 3Cl2 + 4H2O + 3O-2
What two chemicals are used to make potassium chloride?
potassium chlorine
What chemicals are oxidant?
Examples: potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate, oxygen, ozone, nitric acid, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, fluorine, chlorine, potassium perchlorate etc.
Why chlorine displaces bromine from potassium bromide?
Chlorine is a stronger oxidizing agent than bromine.

What dangerous chemical is released when hydrochloric acid potassium permanganate?
Chlorine, a very toxic gas. (War gas in WW-I).
Decomposition of potassium chlorate to potassium chloride?
Potassium chlorate contains potassium, chlorine, and oxygen. It is used in safety matches, explosives, as an oxidizing agent, to prepare oxygen, and as a disinfectant.
What is the oxidation number of one chromium atom in potassium dichromate?
Potassium dichroamte is K2Cr2O7, in the dichroamte ion both Cr atoms have an oxidation number of +6.
What is the word equation for potassium and chlorine?
Potassium + Chlorine --> Potassium Chloride (potassium plus chlorine arrow potassium chloride)
Write a balanced redox equation for the oxidation of chloride to chlorine by acidified potassium dichromate?
K2Cr2O7 + 4H2SO4 + 6Cl-1----------> K2SO4 + Cr2(SO4)3 + 3Cl2 + 4H2O + 3O-2
Chlorine and potassium iodide?
As a stronger oxidizing agent than Iodine, Chlorine oxidizes the Iodide ions to Elementary Iodine, while itself gets reduced to Chloride. The equation for this reaction is:Cl2 + 2 I- ----> 2 Cl- + I2
What two chemicals are used to make potassium chloride?
potassium chlorine
What are 2 common oxidants and 2 common reductants?
Common reductants (substances readily oxidized) are the active metals, hydrogen, hydrogen sulphide, carbon, carbon monoxide and sulphurous acid.Common oxidants (substances readily reduced) include the halogens (especially fluorine and chlorine), nitric acid, oxygen, ozone, potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate, and concentrated sulfuric acid.Some substances are capable of acting either as reductants or as oxidants, e.g., hydrogen peroxide and nitrous acid.
