Solution

KMnO4 acts as an oxidizing agent in titration.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a strong oxidizing agent, which means it has a tendency to take electrons from other substances.

  2. In a titration process, the substance that donates or accepts electrons to cause the reaction is called the titrant.

  3. When KMnO4 is used in a titration, it is usually the titrant. It reacts with the substance in the solution being titrated (the analyte) and causes it to be oxidized.

  4. The KMnO4 itself is reduced in the process, changing color from purple to colorless or a faint pink near the endpoint. This color change is used to determine the endpoint of the titration.

  5. Therefore, in a titration, KMnO4 acts as an oxidizing agent.

Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a highly reactive inorganic salt that appears as granular dark purple crystals, nearly black in color.  Due to its useful chemical properties and the fact that its reactions typically do not produce compounds that are toxic, KMnO4 is employed in a variety of applications, including use as a topical skin disinfectant, an antifungal agent, a fire starter, and a disinfectant for drinking water.KMnO4 is widely used as an alternative water treatment agent both to disinfect drinking water and to remove undesirable dissolved iron and sulfur compounds.  The crystals are highly soluble in water and form bright pink aqueous solutions that provide a visual indication of the presence of KMnO4 treatment residual.  As a drinking water disinfectant, a KMnO4 concentration of 1 mg/L is recommended unless higher levels of contamination are indicated by the absence of a pink residual.Industrial production of potassium permanganate is accomplished in two steps.  In step 1, manganese(IV) oxide (MnO2) is heated with potassium hydroxide in the presence of oxygen to produce potassium manganate (K2MnO4), as outlined in Reaction 1.2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 → 2 K2MnO4 + 2 H2OReaction 1In step 2, the potassium manganate is then converted into potassium permanganate electrochemically according to Reaction 2.2 K2MnO4 + 2 H2O → 2 KMnO4 + 2 KOH + H2Reaction 2 Question 43In Reaction 1 shown in the passage, the oxidizing agent is:A.K2MnO4, because potassium loses electrons.B.MnO2, because manganese gains electrons.C.KOH, because hydrogen loses electrons.D.O2, because oxygen gains electrons.
