Best Answer

Potassium permanganate solutions due to the strong oxiding nature readily forms MnO2 on contact with impurities. Traditionally sources of KMnO4 always contained traces of MnO2 . KMnO4 solutions "go off" when they stand for a period.

What is the mass of 2.55 mol of KMnO4?

Number of moles= Mass/molar mass (g/mol) Hence Mass= mol × molar mass Mol=2.55 Molar mass of KMnO4= 39+55+(16×4)= 158g/mol Where K=39, Mn=55 and O =16 Hence Mass of KMnO4 in 2.55 mols of the compound= 2.55×158= 402.9g.


Why does alkene reacts kmno4?

KMnO4 will react with compounds having unsaturation (double bond or triple bond). Since alkenes have double bond, it will react with KMnO4 and decolourize dilute KMnO4 solution.


Why is potassium permanganate used in titration experiment despite being a secondary standard solution?

kmno4 is very good oxidizing agent. that means it is easily reduced by any other reagent. so it can't be considered as primary standard as its concentration changes upon free leaving
