Question

What is bayers reagent? Explain its process.

Answer 1

Baeyer's reagent is an alkaline solution of cold potassium permanganate, which is a powerful oxidant making this a redox reaction. Reaction with double or triple bonds (-C=C- or -C≡C-) in an organic material causes the color to fade from purplish-pink to brown.

To obtain Baeyer's reagent the solution is transferred to a dark-colored glass bottle, 10 grams of anhydrous sodium carbonate () is added to the solution, and the stoppered bottle is shaken until fully dissolved. This creates the reagent, which consists of alkaline potassium permanganate.
