    The equivalent weight of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] in acidic medium is

    A) 158                        

    B)        52.67    

    C)        31.6                       

    D)        49

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Equivalent weight of \[\text{KMn}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\] \[\text{=}\frac{\text{formula}\,\text{weight}\,\text{of}\,\text{KMn}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}}{\text{change}\,\text{in}\,\text{oxidation}\,\text{number}}\] \[\text{2KMn}{{\text{O}}_{4}}+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] \[+2MnS{{O}_{4}}+3{{H}_{2}}O+5[O]\]                 or \[\underset{+7}{\mathop{Mn{{O}_{4}}^{-}}}\,+16{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{+2}{\mathop{M{{n}^{2+}}}}\,+8{{H}_{2}}O\] \[\therefore \]  Equivalent weight of \[\text{KMn}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\]in acidic \[medium=\frac{158}{5}=31.6\]
