    The   equivalent   mass   of   potassium permanganate in alkaline medium is its

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

    B)  \[\frac{\text{molar}\,\text{mass}}{3}\]

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

    D)  molar mass itself

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The   domain   of   the   real   function \[2K\overset{+7}{\mathop{M}}\,n{{O}_{4}}+2KOH\xrightarrow{{}}2{{K}_{2}}\overset{+6}{\mathop{M}}\,n{{O}_{4}}+{{H}_{2}}O+[O]\]Change in oxidation state of \[Mn=(+7)-(+\,6)\] \[=+\,1\] \[\therefore \]Eq. wt. of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}=\frac{\text{molar}\,\text{mass}}{\text{change}\,\text{in}\,\text{oxidation}\,\text{state}}\] \[\text{=}\,\,\frac{\text{molar}\,\text{mass}}{\text{1}}\text{=}\,\text{molar}\,\text{mass}\]
