What is the reason that solution of potassium permanganate remains coloured even after large number of dilutions?
Answers
Answer:
Potassium permanganate solution remains colored even after large number of dilution since its particles spread through the solution as more water is added.
Explanation:
This question tests the properties of matter.
What is matter?
It's anything that has weight and occupies space.
Different types of matter include :
1) Solids
2) Liquids
3) Gases
The properties of matter include:
1) They are made up of tiny particles.
2) The particles are held together by particular forces.
3) The particles are in constant motion.
4) The particles have spaces between them.
When a solution of permanganate is diluted, the particles of permanganate diffuse through the solution hence the color is retained.
The color of the solution becomes fainter as more water is added but the color is retained.
This is explained by the fact that the particles of permanganate are in constant motion.
