Question

Give the oxidising properties of KMNO4 in acidic medium with
1) sodium arsenite
2) hydrogen peroxide

Open in App

Solution

1) KMnO4 doesnot oxidize sodium arsenite.

2) KMnO4 oxidizes hydrogen peroxide to H₂O in acidic medium. The reaction is as follows:
$2 K M n O_{4} + 3 H_{2} S O_{4} + 5 H_{2} O_{2} \to K_{2} S O_{4} + 2 M n S O_{4} + 8 H_{2} O + 5 O_{2}$
