How Chromatography can be used for non colored solution?

Many organic compounds are aromatic and thus absorb ultraviolet light. Simply shine UV over your TLC plate and observe the spots. If the compound isn't UV absorbing but has a double bond, a solution of KMnO4 can be used to visibly stain the compound on the TLC plate.

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.


How many grams of potassium permanganate KMnO4 are in 2.55 moles?

The compound potassium permanganate has chemical formula KMnO4 Molecular mass of KMnO4 = 39.1 + 54.9 + 4(16.0) = 158.0 Mass of KMnO4 = amount of KMnO4 x Molecular mass of KMnO4 = 2.55 x 158.0 = 403g
