    The   equivalent   mass   of   potassium permanganate in alkaline medium is its molar

    A)  \[\frac{molar\,mass}{5}\]                           

    B)  \[\frac{molar\,mass}{3}\]

    C)  \[\frac{molar\,mass}{2}\]           

    D)  molar mass itself

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    In alkaline medium, \[\overset{+7}{\mathop{2KMn{{O}_{4}}}}\,+2KOH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\overset{+6}{\mathop{2{{K}_{2}}Mm{{O}_{4}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O+[O]\] Change in oxidation state of \[Mn=(+7)-(+6)\] \[=+1\] \[\therefore \]Eq. wt. of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}=\frac{molar\text{ }mass}{change\text{ }in\text{ }oxidation\text{ }state}\] \[=\frac{molar\text{ }mass}{1}=\] molar mass
