To decoloriZe 1 Mole of kMnO4 how many moles of H2O2is required?

Answer 1

Assuming the reaction takes place in an acidic environment...

3H₂O₂ + 2MnO₄^- + 2H⁺ → 2MnO₂ + 3O₂ + 4H₂O

From the balanced equation 2 moles MnO₄^- requires 3 moles H₂O₂. Using this mole ratio, you can determine the moles of H₂O₂ needed to react completely with 1 mole of KMnO₄.

1 mole KMnO₄ x 3 moles H₂O₂/2 moles KMnO₄ = 1.5 moles H₂O² needed
