Question

When sodium peroxide is treated with acidified potassium permanganate, which of the following are obtained as product ?

• A. $H_2$
• B. $O_3$
• C. $O_2$
• D. all of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C $O_2$

When sodium peroxide is treated with acidified potassium permanganate the products obtained are $O_2,MnSO{4}_4,N{a}_{2}S{O}_4,K_{2}S{O}_4,H_{2}O$

$5N{a}_2{O}_2+2KMn{O}_4+8H_{2}S{O}_4⟶5O_2+2MnS{O}_4+5N{a}_{2}S{O}_4+K_{2}S{O}_4+8H_{2}O$

Hence option C is correct.
