hydrogen peroxide react with potassium permagnate in basic medium give products
Answers
Answer:
the answer is here!!!
Explanation:
In the presence of the strong oxidizing agent, hydrogen peroxide behaves as a reducing agent in acidic as well as the basic media. This means that the component is reacting with the hydrogen peroxide in the acidic or the basic media will get reduced. In these reactions, molecular oxygen is always produced by the combination of hydrogen peroxide with oxygen atom released by the strong oxidizing agent.
- This means when the hydrogen peroxide is treated with the nascent oxygen produces the molecular oxygen and the water. This molecular oxygen in the acidic media or in the basic media produces the free electrons which further react with the strong oxidizing agent to reduce it.
- Hence when we treated H₂O₂ reacts with KMnO4 in the alkaline medium the hydrogen peroxide produces the electrons which reduces the KMnO4 as shown below
2KMnO4 + 3H₂0₂2MnO₂ + 30₂ + 2KOH + 4H₂O
