The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements regarding KMnO₄, we will evaluate each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1:** KMnO₄ acts as a powerful oxidizing agent in acids, alkaline, and neutral medium. - **Explanation:** KMnO₄ (Potassium permanganate) is known for its strong oxidizing properties. In acidic medium, it is reduced from MnO₄⁻ (where manganese has an oxidation state of +7) to Mn²⁺ (oxidation state +2) by gaining 5 electrons. In alkaline medium, it is reduced to MnO₄²⁻ (where manganese has an oxidation state of +6) by gaining only 1 electron. In neutral medium, it is reduced to MnO₂ (where manganese has an oxidation state of +4) by gaining 3 electrons. Thus, KMnO₄ acts as a powerful oxidizing agent in all three conditions. - **Conclusion:** Statement 1 is **True**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2 **Statement 2:** The equivalent weight of KMnO₄ in acidic medium is M/5 and in strongly alkaline medium is M/3. - **Explanation:** The equivalent weight of a substance is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Equivalent weight} = \frac{\text{Molar mass}}{n \text{ factor}} \] In acidic medium, KMnO₄ gains 5 electrons (n factor = 5), so the equivalent weight is: \[ \frac{M}{5} \] In strongly alkaline medium, KMnO₄ gains only 1 electron (n factor = 1), so the equivalent weight is: \[ \frac{M}{1} = M \] Therefore, the statement that the equivalent weight in strongly alkaline medium is M/3 is incorrect. - **Conclusion:** Statement 2 is **False**. ### Step 3: Evaluate Statement 3 **Statement 3:** KMnO₄ solution is used as a primary standard and acts as a self-indicator during its titration with Mohr salt. - **Explanation:** KMnO₄ is stable and does not decompose at room temperature, making it suitable as a primary standard. During titration with Mohr salt (ferrous ammonium sulfate), KMnO₄ acts as a self-indicator. Initially, the solution is purple due to MnO₄⁻ ions. As the reaction proceeds and all MnO₄⁻ is reduced to Mn²⁺, the solution becomes colorless, indicating the endpoint of the titration. - **Conclusion:** Statement 3 is **True**. ### Final Summary of Statements: - Statement 1: True - Statement 2: False - Statement 3: True ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **True, False, True**. ---
