During the reaction of permanganate with thiosulphate, the change in oxidation of manganese occurs by value…
- Both aqueous acidic and neutral
- Aqueous neutral
- Both aqueous acidic and faintly alkaline
- Aqueous acidic
Solution
In neutral or weakly alkaline solution oxidation state of changes by unit. The reaction between permanganate and thiosulfate is a redox reaction, in which permanganate acts as an oxidizing agent and thiosulfate acts as a reducing agent.
This ionic mechanism is favoured in neutral aqueous medium.
