when the crystal of potassium petmanganate is placed in a beaker uits purple colour spread throughtout the water what does this ibseration tell us abiut tbe nature of potassium permanganate and water ?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
This shows the diffusion of particles of water and potassium permanganate,due to this property only the dissolution and spreading of the color of potassium.
That potassium permanganate is water soluble and it slowly diffuses throughout the beaker of water.
❱ Potassium permanganate is not a primary standard.
❱ It is difficult to obtain the substance perfectly pure and completely
❱ Potassium permanganate is an inorganic chemical compound and medication.
❱ It is used for cleaning wounds and dermatitis.
❱ It has the chemical formula KMnO₄ and is a salt consisting of K⁺ and MnO− ₄ ions.
❱ It is a strong oxidizing agent
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.
