Question

Chemical equation of citric acid reacts with potassium permanganate

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,

Citric acid (C₈H₈O₇) turns potassium permanganate from purple to colourless and act as reducing agent while KMnO₄ act as oxidizing agent. It is an redox reaction in which MnO₄^- is reduced to MnO₂ while citric acid is oxidised to CO₂.

6KMnO₄ + C₆H₈O₇ + 3H₂SO₄ → 6CO₂+ 6MnO₂ + 7H₂O + 3K₂SO₄

Regards!
