Permanganate ions, MnO4-, oxidize acetaldehyde, CH3CHO, to acetic acid CH3CO2H, and are reduced to MnO2. The reaction takes place in acidic solution.
A) Balance the redox reaction. Do not include aggregation states in your answer.
B) How many moles of electrons are required to oxidize 1.52 g acetaldehyde?
The number of significant digits is set to 3; the tolerance is +/-1 in the 3rd significant digit
C) What mass of KMnO4 would be required to deliver this many electrons?
The number of significant digits is set to 3; the tolerance is +/-1 in the 3rd significant digit
