KMnO 4 acts as an oxidising agent in acidic medium. The number of moles of KMnO 4 that will be needed to react with one mole of sulphide ions in acidic solution is

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The following reaction takes place when KMnO₄ reacts with sulphide ions in acidic medium. 2 moles of KMnO₄ reacts with 5 moles of sulphide ions, so 2/5 moles of KMnO₄ reacts with 1 mole of sulphide ions.

5S^2– + 2MnO^-₄ + 16H⁺→ 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O + 5S
