Which of the following statements is corrected about equivalent weight of `KMnO_(4)`?A. It is one third of its molecular weightin alkalineB. It is one fifth of its molecular weight in alkaline mediumC. It is equal to its molecular weight in acidic mediumD. It is one third of its molecular weight in acidic medium

Answer» Correct Answer - A
It is one-third of its molecular weight in alkaline medium because it gives 3 nascent oxygen in alkaline medium.
`2KMnO_(4) + H_(2) O overset(+3 e^(-))rarr 2KOH + 2MnO_(2) + 3 [O]`
`:.` Equivalent weight `= (M)/(3)`
