Write the two steps involved in the commercial process of converting MnO_(2) to potassium permanganate.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Commercially it is prepared by the ALKALINE oxidative FUSION of `MnO_(2)` following by the elctrolytic oxidation of manganate (VI)
`MnO_(2)overset("Fused with KOH")UNDERSET("Oxidised with air")rarr underset("Mangante ion")(MnO_(4)^(2-))`
`MnO_(4)^(2-) overset("Electrolytic oxidation")underset("alkaline solution")rarr underset("PER Mangante ion")(MnO_(4)^(-))`
