Why does kmno4 dissolve in water?
It has a solubility in water of 5.0 g/100 ml at 20°C and is available at a commercial strength of 97-99% potassium permanganate. Use: Used as an oxidant for removal of iron or manganese and for treatment of taste and odor….POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE.

What happens when potassium permanganate is dissolved in water?
. It is a purplish-black crystalline salt, that dissolves in water to give intensely pink or purple solutions.
How do you dissolve kmno4?
If you’re using potassium permanganate tablets or crystals, make sure they’re fully dissolved in water before using the solution. Using hot (not boiling) water will help them dissolve.
What is the molar mass of kmno4?

Does KMnO4 react with water?
Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) When it is added to water containing taste–odor compounds, the reaction is: 2 KMnO 4 + H 2 O + taste – and – odor compound → 2 MnO 2 ↓ + 2 KOH + 3 O − 2 + taste – and – odor compounds .
What are the side effects of potassium permanganate?
Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and shortness of breath may occur. If a sufficiently large amount (about 10 grams) is eaten death may occur. Concentrated solutions when drunk have resulted in adult respiratory distress syndrome or swelling of the airway.
Is kmno4 a reducing agent?
Its maximum oxidation state is +7 which it’s already at. Therefore it can’t oxidise so it can’t act as a reducing agent.
What is the formula of KMnO4?

What is the N factor of KMnO4?
n-factor is defined as the number of H + ions replaced by 1 mole of acid in a reaction. In neutral medium KMnO4 forms MnO2 (+7 to +4) i.e. it gains 3 electrons. So, n-factor= 3.
