HARIHAR’S LAB: - Practical Theory A) Study an inorganic salt: - potassium permanganate ( KMnO 4 ) Short note : - ➪) potassium permanganate ( KMnO 4 ) is a strong oxidizing agent (an oxidizing agent transfers oxygen atoms to a substrate (organic) / oxidizing agent is called an electron acceptor and the reducing agent is called an electron donor). ➧ Why is KMnO4 oxidizing agent? Ans.~ Look at the structure of KMnO4, here we see that oxidation state of Mn is +7. That means it lose 7 electrons. Electronic configuration of Mn is [Ar] 3d5 4s2. So become more stable oxidation state its accept electron and acts as a oxidizing agent in a Redox reaction . ➧ Some physical characteristic of KMnO4 Color ~ Dark purple Odor ~ Odorless Texture ~ Crystal...
