Why potassium permanganate is discolored in the presence of 1-butanol 2-butanol but slowly acidifies by 2-methyl-2-propanol though all three alcohols have the same molecular formula?

- 1-Butanol is a primary alcohol (the OH group is attached to a carbon that is only attached to one other carbon) and is oxidised to butanal.
- 2-Butanol is a secondary alcohol (the OH group is attached to a carbon that is attached to two other carbons) and is oxidised to butanone.
- 2-methyl-2-propanol is a tertiary alcohol (the OH group is attached to a carbon that is attached to three other carbons) and this means it does not react with potassium permanganate as it can no longer undergo anymore oxidations. This is why it does not show a visible reaction with potassium permanganate.

Which substance has a higher molecular weight a methylene blue or potassium permanganate?
METHYLENE BLUE has high molecular weight.
Why does the potassium permanganate diffuse faster than methylene blue?
because it has a heavier molecular weight
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
What is the formula molecular weight and color or potassium permanganate?
KMnO4 is the formula; The molecular weight is 158. The substance is a deep purple/almost black solid which in water turns intense purple.
Why would potassium permanganate have a greater rate of diffusion down a agar tube than methylene blue?
Methylene Blue has a higher molecular weight than the compound potassium permanganate. Potassium permanganate has smaller, lighter molecules which diffuse faster than methylene blue's larger, heavier molecules.
What is the molecular formula for silver permanganate?
Silver permanganate has the molecular formula AgMnO4.This is an inorganic purple crystal which decomposes when mixed with water. It is commonly used in gas masks.
Which substance has a higher molecular weight a methylene blue or potassium permanganate?
METHYLENE BLUE has high molecular weight.
What is the equivalent weight of potassium permanganate in alkaline medium?
1/5 of molecular weight
What is the molecular equation of Potassium permanganate react with sodium nitrite?
KMnO4 + NaNO2 -> KNO2 + NaMnO4

Is AgMnO4 a molecular compound?
Silver permanganate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AgMnO4. It is a purple crystal adopting monoclinic crystal system.
Does potassium permanganate dye diffuse faster in water or an agar gel?
Potassium permanganate dye diffuses more quickly through water than agar gel.The rate of diffusion depends on the molecular weight of the chemical and the characteristics of the medium through which the substance diffuses.
Does potassium permanganate dye diffuse more rapidly through water of agar gel?
Potassium permanganate dye diffuses more rapidly through water than agar gel. The rate of diffusion depends on the molecular weight of the chemical and the characteristics of the medium through which the substance diffuses.
Is potassium permanganate ionic or molecular compound?
It is an ionic molecule because it is composed of a cation and anion.
