Vedclass · Answer

(C) In acidic medium,$KMnO_4$ acts as a strong oxidising agent and is reduced to $Mn^{2+}$ ions:$MnO_4^{-} + 8H^{+} + 5e^{-} 	o Mn^{2+} + 4H_2O$In basic (alkaline) medium,$KMnO_4$ is reduced to manganese dioxide $(MnO_2)$:$MnO_4^{-} + 2H_2O + 3e^{-} 	o MnO_2 + 4OH^{-}$Therefore,the products obtained in acidic and basic media are $Mn^{2+}$ and $MnO_2$ respectively. The correct option is $C$.

Potassium permanganate works as an oxidising agent both in acidic and basic medium. In both states,the products obtained by $KMnO_4$ are respectively:
