AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Baeyer's Reagent**: Baeyer's reagent is an alkaline solution of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7). However, it is primarily known for its use as an alkaline KMnO4 solution. 2. **Chemical Composition**: - **Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4)**: This compound contains potassium (K), manganese (Mn), and oxygen (O). In an alkaline medium, it acts as a strong oxidizing agent. - **Potassium Dichromate (K2Cr2O7)**: This compound contains potassium (K), chromium (Cr), and oxygen (O). It also acts as an oxidizing agent in alkaline conditions. ...
