How do you account for the following observations? a) Though alkaline potassium permanganate and acidic potassium permanganate both are used as oxidants, yet in the manufacture of benzoic acid from toluene we use alcoholic potassium permanganate as an oxidant. Why? Write a balanced redox equation for the reaction. b) When concentrated- sulphuric acid is added to an inorganic mixture containing chloride, we get colourless pungent smelling gas 'HCl', but if the mixture contains bromide, then we get red vapours of bromine. Why?
