Calculate the n-factor of KMnO4?
All of the above
The n-factor of KMnO4 varies depending on the type of solution where the reaction takes place and we calculate it based on change in oxidation state.
(i) In acidic medium: (+7) (+2)KMnO4⟶ Mn+2Valence factor=5(ii)In basic medium: +7 +2(KMnO4)⟶(Mn+6)Valence factor=1(iii)Neutral medium: (+7) (+2)KMnO4 ⟶ Mn+4Valence factor=3
