Potassium permanganate acts as an oxidan...

Potassium permanganate acts as an oxidant in neutral, alkaline as well as acidic medium. The final products obtained from it in the three conditions are, respectively

A

`MnO_(2+), MnO_2, Mn^(2+)`

B

`MnO_4^(2-), MnO^(3+), Mn^(2+)`

C

`MnO_(2+), MnO_4^(2-), Mn^(3+)`

D

`MnO, MnO_4^(2-), Mn^(2+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`" In neutral medium: " 2KMnO_4 + 3MnSO_4 + 2H_2O rarr K_2SO_4 + 2H_2SO_4 + 5MnO_2`
`" In alkaline medium: " 2KMnO_4+H_2O rarr 2MnO_2 + 2KOH + 2O`
`"In acidic medium: " 2 KMnO_4 + 3H_2SO_4 rarr K_2SO_4 + 2Mn^(+2)SO_4 + 5H_2O + 5O`
