initially it decolorizes bcoz it acts as oxidising agent so converts alcohol into acetic acid. later no change is found in KMnO4

bcoz all alcool is already cnverted into acetic acid.

You react 25.0 liters of oxygen gas at stp with 50.0 ml of ethanol liquid ethanol has a density of 0.789 gml the excess reactant is?

The question is not clear , if it is for the combustion of ethanol then 25litre of oxygen is in large excess for 25 ml of ethanol.


Why is ethanol used in excess in the preparation of benzocaine?

to shift the reaction toward the products (Benzocaine) to counteract the imposed change excess reactants so that will lead to a higher percentage of Benzocaine. according to Le Chatelier's principle


Does the colour of potassium permanganate persist when it is added initialy to heated 3ml of ethanol?

When potassium permagnate is added initially to ethanol, ethanol gets oxidised into ethanoic acid using potassium permagnate. Thus, decolorizing potassium permagnate. When excess is added , the color of potassium permagnate persists.


What is the product when ethanol react with excess acidified kmno4?

When ethanol reacts with excess acidified KMnO4, it is oxidized to form ethanoic acid. The purple color of KMnO4 is decolorized to colorless Mn2+ ions during the reaction.

Can excess extra neutral alcohol sediment in water?

Ethanol and water are miscible.


Why does the color of potassium permanganate not disappear when excess of ethanol is added to it?

The color of potassium permanganate does not disappear when excess ethanol is added because ethanol is unable to fully reduce the permanganate ion (MnO4-) to colorless manganese dioxide (MnO2). Ethanol is a weak reducing agent and is not capable of completely reducing the permanganate ion in this reaction. Additionally, the reaction between potassium permanganate and ethanol is not stoichiometric, meaning that there is an excess of one of the reactants, which can also contribute to the color persisting.


Is citric acid solubility in ethanol?

Yes, citric acid neutralizes the severity of ethanol when it's consumed in excess.


Why the color of potassium perpanganate disappears if it is added to warm solution of ethanol?

When potassium permanganate reacts with ethanol, it releases oxygen. ie, an atom of oxygen thus converting the ethanol to acetic acid. Initially colour disappears because coloured permanganate ions of potassium permanganate are consumed to oxidise ethanol. C 2 H 5 OH (WITH ALKALINE KMnO 4) CH 3 COOH+H 2 O Remember :When excess is added colour does not change because there is no more alcohol left and hence there is no reaction.


What is the colour given by excess lithium in lithium chloride?

What colour change is seen when excess potassium iodine is reacted with chlorine?

When excess potassium iodide is reacted with chlorine, the solution changes from colorless to dark brown due to the formation of Iodine (I2). Excess potassium iodide reacts with chlorine to form iodine, which imparts the dark brown color to the solution.
