Pyrolusite is MnO ₂ used to prepare KMnO ₄ . Steps are, MnO ₂ I MnO ₄ ²⁻ II MnO ₄⁻ . Steps I and II are respectively:
Options
- Afuse with KOH / air and electrolytic oxidation.
- Bfuse with KOH / KNO ₃ and electrolytic oxidation.
- Cfuse with conc. HNO ₃ / air and electrolytic reduction.
- Ddissolve in H ₂ O and oxidation.
Correct answer
B. fuse with KOH / KNO ₃ and electrolytic oxidation.
Step-by-step solution
Fuse with KOH in presence of air or oxidising agents like KNO ₃ , KClO ₃ etc. aligned & 2 MnO ₂+4 KOH + O ₂ fuse 2 ~K ₂ MnO ₄+2 H ₂ O & MnO ₄ ²⁻ electrolytic oxidation MnO ₄⁻+ e ⁻ aligned
