In order to prepare one litre 1 N solution of KMnO ₄ , how many grams of KMnO ₄ are required, if the solution to be used in acid medium for oxidation?
Options
- A128 g
- B41.75 g
- C31.60 g
- D62.34 g
Correct answer
C. 31.60 g
Step-by-step solution
In acidic medium, aligned & MnO ₄⁻+8 H ⁺+5 e⁻ Mn ²⁺+4 H ₂ O & (From KMnO ₄ ) aligned Hence, equivalent weight of KMnO ₄ in acidic medium = Moleculer weight 5 = 158 5 =31.6 1 ~N solution can be prepared by dissolving 31.6 g KMnO ₄ in 1L solution.
