When a small amount of KMnO ₄ is added to concentrated H ₂ SO ₄ , a green oily compound is obtained which is highly explosive in nature. Compound may be :
Options
- AMnSO ₄
- BMn ₂ O ₇
- CMnO ₂
- DMn ₂ O ₃
Correct answer
B. Mn ₂ O ₇
Step-by-step solution
KMnO ₄ reacts with H ₂ SO ₄ to form Mn ₂ O ₇ which is highly explosive substance. 2 KMnO ₄+ H ₂ SO ₄ K ₂ SO ₄ + Mn ₂ O ₇+ H ₂ O
