Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
The reaction of H₂O₂ with potassium permanganate in acidic medium leads to the formation of mainly
A
Mn²⁺
B
Mn⁴⁺
C
Mn³⁺
D
Mn⁶⁺
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In acidic medium, H₂O₂ acts as a reducing agent and reduces MnO₄⁻ to Mn²⁺. The reaction is: 2MnO₄⁻ + 6H⁺ + 5H₂O₂ → 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O + 5O₂.
