Question

Even 2 3 cup of potassium permanganate can impart colour to a large volume of water which characterstic property of particle of matter is illustrated by this observation define that property

Answer 1

Potassium permagnate is a purple coloured solid substance and water is a colourless liquid when a crystal of potassium permaganate is placed in a beaker of water the water slowly turns purple on its own even without stirring the spread of purple colour of potassium permagnate in the whole what a beaker can be observed both potassium permagnate crystal and water are made up of tiny particles the particles of potassium permagnate a purple colour whereas the particles of water a colorless when the potassium permanganate crystal is put in water is particle separate from one another is purple coloured particles of potassium permagnate spread throughout water making the whole water look purple actually on dissolving the particles of potassium permagnate get into spaces between the particles of the water
