Name the gas that can readily decolourise acidified KMnO4 solution.
- ASO2
- BNO2
- CP2O5
- DCO2
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
Acidified KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent
thus, among the given option which readily
undergoes oxidation with KMnO4 will decolourise
it. CO2, NO2 and P2O5 are already in their highest
oxidation state while SO2 can further oxidize with
KMnO4 to give sulphate ions.
2MnO4– + 5SO2 + 2H2O 2Mn2+ + 5SO42– + 4H+
