In alkaline medium , `KMnO_(4)` reacts as follows
`2KMnO_(4)+2KOH rarr 2K_(2)MnO_(4)+H_(2)O+O`
Therefore, the equivalent mass of `KMnO_(4)` will be

A

31.6

B

52.7

C

`7.0`

D

`158.0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`"E.q wt"=("M.wt")/("Total decrease in O.N")=(158)/(1)=158`
