On heating potassium permanganate, one of the following compound is not obtained:
Options
- A( O ₂ )
- B( MnO )
- C( MnO ₂ )
- D( K ₂ MnO ₄ )
Correct answer
B. ( MnO )
Step-by-step solution
Heating of potassium permanganate salt at ( 513 ~K ) ( 2 KMnO ₄⁻-> K ₂ MnO ₄+ MnO ₂+ O ₂ ) Hence, on heating of potassium permanganate, MnO will not be obtain.
