Describe the preparation of potassium permanganate. How does the acidified permanganate solution react with (i) iron (ii) ions (ii) S O 2 and (iii) oxalic acid ? Write the ionic equations for the reactions.
Solution:
Potassium permanganate ( K M n O 4 ) is prepared by the fusion of a mixture of pyrolusite ( M n O 2 ) , potassium hydroxide and oxygen, first green coloured potassium manganate is formed.
2 M n O 2 + 4 K O H + O 2 → 2 K 2 M n O 4 + 2 H 2 O The potassium manganate is extracted bywater, which then undergoes disproportionation in neutral or acidic solution to give potassium permanganate.
Electrolytically :
3 M n O 4 2 – + 4 H + → 2 M n O 4 – + M n O 2 + 2 H 2 O In acidic medium of dilute sulphuric acid, KMnO4 acts as strong oxidising agent andit reacts as:
M n O 4 – + 8 H + + 5 e – → M n 2 + + 4 H 2 O (i) Iron(II) solution : Ferrous ( F e 2 + ) ion solution to ferric ( F e 3 + ) ion solution.
M n O 4 – + 8 H + + 5 e – → M n 2 + + 4 H 2 O
