Question

........the permanganate ion reaction has happened in a solution:

a)acidic

b)basic

Answer 1

Assuming you mean it has acted as an oxidising agent.

In acidic solution (MnO4)- is usually converted to Mn2+(aq)

In alkaline solution it is usually converted into MnO2(s)

(So it&#039;s a more efficient oxidiser in acid solution.)
