Question:medium
The number of electrons that are involved in the reduction of permanganate to manganese(II) salt, manganate and manganese dioxide respectively are
The number of electrons that are involved in the reduction of permanganate to manganese(II) salt, manganate and manganese dioxide respectively are
Show Hint
Memorize the mnemonic "Ban 153":
- Basic medium: Change is 1.
- Acidic medium: Change is 5.
- Neutral medium: Change is 3.
This refers to the electron count for $MnO_4^-$ reduction!
