On heating potassium permanganate, one of the following compound is not obtained:

  1. A \( \mathrm{O}_{2} \)
  2. B \( \mathrm{MnO} \)
  3. C \( \mathrm{MnO}_{2} \)
  4. D \( \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{MnO}_{4} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( \mathrm{MnO} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Heating of potassium permanganate salt at \( 513 \mathrm{~K} \)
\( 2 \mathrm{KMnO}_{4}^{-}->\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{MnO}_{4}+\mathrm{MnO}_{2}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \)
Hence, on heating of potassium permanganate, MnO will not be obtain.
