Question

In the Redox reaction, x KMnO4 +NH3 à y KNO3 + MnO2 + KOH + H2O What will be the value of x and y.

Answer 1

It's Answer is Potassium hydroxide.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 8

y = 3

Explanation:

To get the value of x and y we need to write a balanced chemical equation of the reaction.

For the equation to be balanced the number of atoms on the left side should be equal to the number of atoms on the right side.

We write the balanced equation as follows :

8KMnO4 + 3NH3 –> 3KNO3 + 8MnO2 + 5KOH + 2H2O

From this equation we can get the value of x and y.

The value of x and y can be obtained from the moles of the compounds in the reaction above.

From this we have :

x = 8

y = 3
