Identify A to E. Pyrolusite on heating with KOH in the presence of air gives a dark green compound (A). The solution of (A) on treatment with `H_2SO_4` gives a purple coloured compound `(B)`, which gives the following reactions: (a). KI on reaction with alkaline solution of (B) changes into a compound (C). (b). The colour of the compoud (B) disappears on treatment with the acidic solution of `FeSO_4`. (c). With conc. `H_2SO_4` compound (B) gives (D) which can compose to yield (E) and oxygen.
