Assertion (A) : Pink coloured solution of potassium permanganate turns green on passing O_3 through it. Reason (R) : K_2MnO_4 is oxidised by O_3 to KMnO_4 .

Assertion : In titrations involving potassium permanganate no indicator is used. Reason : MnO_(4)^(-) acts as the self-indicator.

How is KMnO_(4) [Potassium permanganate] is prepared from MnO_(2) ? Write equations.

How is potassium permanganate (KMnO_(4)) prepared from MnO_(2) ? Write the equations.

In permanganate titrations, potassium pemanganats is used an an oxidizing agent in acidic medium. The medium is maintained acidic by the use of dilute sulphuric acid. Potassium permanganate acts as self indicator . The potential equation, when potassium permanganate acts as an oxidizing agent is 2KMnO_(4) + 3H_(2)SO_(4) to K_(2)SO_(4) + 2MnSO_(4) + 3H_(2)O + 5[O] or MnO_(4)^(-) + 8H^(+) + 5e^(-) to Mn^(2+) + 4H_(2)O Before the end point, the solution remains colourless but after teh equivalence point only one extra drop of KMnO_(4) solution imparts pink colour , i.e. appearance of pink colour indicates end point. These titrations are used for estimation of ferrous salts, oxalic acid, oxalates, hydrogen peroxide, As_(2)O_(3) etc. In alkaline condition, KMnO_(4) reacts as follows : 2KMnO_(4) + 2KOH to 2K_(2)MnO_(4) + H_(2)O + [O] Therefore , its equivalent mass will be
