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

How much grams of kmno4 to prepare 1000 ppm solution?

To prepare a 1000 ppm (parts per million) solution of KMnO4 (potassium permanganate), you need 1000 mg of KMnO4 per liter of solution. Since 1 gram equals 1000 mg, you would need 1 gram of KMnO4 dissolved in enough water to make a final volume of 1 liter. Therefore, to prepare a 1000 ppm solution, dissolve 1 gram of KMnO4 in 1 liter of water.


How many grams of KMnO4 should be used to prepare 2L of a 5M solution?

To prepare 2L of a 5M solution, you should put in 4.6575grams of KMnO4. It is important to make sure that you add them in that order. K should be added first, then Mn.


How do you prepare 0.05 N solution of KMnO4?

To prepare a 0.05 N solution of KMnO4, you would need to weigh out the appropriate amount of KMnO4 based on its molar mass. Dissolve this calculated amount in a known volume of water, usually in a volumetric flask, and make up the volume to the desired final volume with more water. Thoroughly mix the solution to ensure uniform concentration.


What mass of KMnO4 is required to prepare 3.00 liters of a 0.05253 M solution of KMnO4?

To find the mass of KMnO4 needed, you can use the formula: mass = molarity x volume x molar mass. First, calculate the moles of KMnO4 using moles = molarity x volume. Then, multiply the moles by the molar mass of KMnO4 to find the mass needed.


You have .2 n kmno4 which you have to dilute it to 0.05n kmno4 how can you dilute that?

To dilute 0.2N KMnO4 to 0.05N KMnO4, you can add 4 times the volume of water to the original volume of KMnO4 solution. For example, if you have 100 mL of 0.2N KMnO4, you would add 400 mL of water to achieve a 0.05N KMnO4 solution. Mix thoroughly to ensure uniform dilution.


What is molarity of a solution that contains 0.798 g KMnO4 in 50.0 mL solution?

The molar mass of KMnO4 is 158,3415 g.The molarity of this solution is 0,1 M.


Why is it permissible to use a wet bottle when first obtaining your KMnO4 solution?

It is permissible to use a wet bottle when first obtaining your KMnO4 solution because the potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is not affected by water and will still dissolve properly in the solution.


What happens when ethanol is oxidised with acidified kmno4 solution?

When ethanol is oxidized with acidified KMnO4 solution, it undergoes complete oxidation to form ethanoic acid (acetic acid). The purple KMnO4 solution is reduced to green Mn2+ ions in the process.


Is KMnO4 soluble or not soluble is cyclohexane?

No the purple solid KMnO4 is only very slightly soluble in the organic liquid cyclohexane.

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.


Which meniscus is to be seen in the burette containing kmno4 solution and why?

In the burette containing KMnO4 solution, the concave meniscus is observed. This is because KMnO4 is a colored solution that has strong adhesive forces with the glass walls of the burette. As a result, the liquid molecules are more attracted to the glass, causing the meniscus to curve downward.
