Detailed Solution

Mol. wt. of KMnO4=39+55+(4×16)                                  =158gmol−(i) In neutral medium : Mn7++3e−⟶Mn4+∴ Eq. wt. of KMnO4,                                    = Mol. Wt. of KMnO4 no. of electrons gained by  one molecule of KMnO4=1583=52.67 Ans. (ii) In acidic medium :                                 Mn7++5e−⟶Mn2+∴ Eq. wt. of KMnO4= Mol. wt. of KMnO4 no. of electrons gained by  one molecule of KMnO4=1585=31.6 Ans. (iii) In alkaline medium, Mn7++1e−⟶Mn6+∴ Eq. wt. of KMnO4= Mol. wt. of KMnO4 no. of electrons gained by  one molecule of KMnO4=1581=158 Ans.
