When a small amount of \(KMnO_4\) is added to concentrated \(H_2SO_4\), a green oily compound is obtained which is highly explosive in nature. Compound may be

  1. A \(MnSO_4\)
  2. B \(Mn_2O_7\)
  3. C \(MnO_2\)
  4. D \(Mn_2O_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(Mn_2O_7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(KMnO_4\) reacts with \(H_2SO_4\) to form \(Mn_2O_7\) which is highly explosive substance \(2KMn{O_4} + {H_2}S{O_4} \to {K_2}S{O_4} + M{n_2}{O_7} + {H_2}O\)
