How do you count the following obeservation ?

Answer»

Solution :The reaction in acid medium : `MnO_(4)^(-)(aq)+BH^(+)(aq)+5etoMn^(2+)(aq)+4H_(2)O(l)`
Multiplying equation (1) by (6) and equation (2) by 5 and then adding them together ,we have
The reaction in alkaline or neutral medium : Multiply equation (3) by (2) and then adding it to equation (4) ,we have,
Even through toluence oxidises to benxoic acid in pressence of ACIDIC or alkaline `KMnO_(4)` the manufacture of benzonic add from toluene is usually carried out by using alcoholic `KMnO_(4)`as an oxidant
This is because of the following advantages:
(i) The USE of alcoholic `KMnO_(4)` is cost effective because to carry out the reaction in pressence of its does not requie adding of either acid or alkali in the reaction medium .In a neutral medium `OH^(-)` ions are produced during the reaction .
