During standardization of KMnO4 if you observe a brown precipitation, what does this indicate? What would you do in this situation?
Ravindra S.
Experiment: Purple-coloured potassium permanganate is added to a colourless unknown hydrocarbon. Observations: The resulting solution is purple. Select all the following statements that are correct. Potassium permanganate did not react with the hydrocarbon. MnO2 is produced in the reaction. At least one π bond was present in the hydrocarbon. A π bond was not present in the hydrocarbon.
