When a crystal of potassium permanganate is placed in a beaker,its purple colour spreads throughout the water.What does this observation tell us about the nature of potassium permanganate and water?
Answers
Answer:
pottasium permagnent is not found like a free chemical compound in nature.it is prepared from the other minerals that contain maganese such maganese (IV)oxide.Due to this it appears purple in colour and we can observe that water also turns purple in colour
nature of the pottasium permanent is correct think soooo. ....
Answer:
When we place few crystals of potassium permanganate in a beaker containing water, we get two distinct layers—colourless water at the top and pink colour at the bottom.
After few minutes, pink colour spreads and whole solution turns pink due to diffusion. Since potassium permanganate is a solid substance, it does not possess so much space.
Water molecules due to liquid state, collide with solid particles and intermix due to sufficient space between molecules.
