If the potassium permanganate solution is prepared from stock solid potassium permanganate, it is important to remove manganese dioxide from the system. MnO2 catalytically decomposes permanganate into oxygen and lower ox. states manganese. Manganese dioxide is insoluble, whereas permanganate is very soluble.
Boiling the solution would ensure that all solid permanganate had dissolved, and so little would be lost upon filtering out MnO2 (which remains insoluble at higher temperatures)
The remaining solution will have a longer shelf-life due to the absence of the aforementioned decomposition catalyst.
If the permanganate solution is required acidic, the use of a small amount of phosphoric acid can be effective. Typically, sulfuric acid is used in combination with permanganate as an acid oxidant. The problem being that sulfuric acid dissolves manganese and thus the catalyst becomes soluble, and difficult to remove. Stock acid solutions of permanganate have far reduced shelf-life.
The addition of a small amount of phosphoric acid helps alleviate this. Manganese(ii) oxide reacts with acidified permanganate to form Manganese(iii) cations - these in turn precipitate from solution as manganese(iii)phosphate. Complex ions of manganese(iii) can also form with phosphate, and these partake roles in equilibrium resulting in their further deposition from solution.
Once the phosphate complexes are removed by filtration of the hot acidified permanganate solution, the solution has a longer shelf-life.

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.
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 in 0.2N normality KMnO4 solution?
To find the grams of KMnO4 in a 0.2N solution, you need the equivalent weight of KMnO4, which is approximately 158.04 g/mol divided by 5 (since one mole of KMnO4 provides 5 equivalents for redox reactions). Therefore, the equivalent weight is about 31.61 g/equiv. For a 1-liter solution, 0.2N means there are 0.2 equivalents, which translates to about 6.32 grams of KMnO4 (0.2 eq × 31.61 g/equiv).
How 0.025n kmno4 make?
To prepare a 0.025 N (normal) solution of KMnO4 (potassium permanganate), you first need to calculate the amount of KMnO4 required. The equivalent weight of KMnO4, which has a molar mass of approximately 158.04 g/mol, is about 31.61 g/equiv for redox reactions. To make 1 liter of a 0.025 N solution, dissolve 0.79025 grams of KMnO4 in distilled water and dilute to a final volume of 1 liter. Always ensure to mix well and store the solution in a dark container due to KMnO4's sensitivity to light.
Does ethyne decolourize KMnO4 solution?
Yes it does. This is a general test for unsaturation.
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.
What colour change occurs when h2o2 is added to kmno4?
When hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is added to potassium permanganate (KMnO4), the purple color of KMnO4 solution fades, turning into a colorless solution. This color change indicates the reduction of KMnO4 to Mn2+ ions.
