Detailed Solution

Given data: Medium of reaction and equivalent weight of KMnO4 Formula/concept used: Calculation of equivalent weight Detailed explanation: In all the below reactions, Mn in MnO4 -is in +7 oxidation state.

5e-+MnO4  -Mn+2 (in acidic medium) 1e-+MnO4  -MnO4 (in basic medium)   2-3e-+MnO4  -MnO2 (in neutral medium) 

In acidic medium,

Change in oxidation state = (7-2) = 5

Or no. of electrons participated in the reaction =5 Equivalent weight of KMnO4=158/5=31.6 In basic medium, Change in oxidation state =(7-6)=1 Or no. of electrons participated in the reaction =1 Equivalent weight of KMnO4=158/1=158. In neutral medium, (or weakly alkaline) Change in oxidation state =(7-4)=3 Or no. of electrons participated in the reaction =3 Equivalent weight of KMnO4=158/3=52.67
