Mass of KMnO4 required : 31.607 g
The reaction equation is the chemical formula of reagents and product substances
A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products
Reaction
2KMnO₄ → K₂MnO₄ + MnO₂ + O₂
mol of O₂ :
[tex]\tt \dfrac{1.6}{16}=0.1[/tex]
mol ratio KMnO₄ : O₂ = 2 : 1
mol of KMnO₄ :
[tex]\tt \dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.1=0.2[/tex]
mass of KMnO₄ :
MW KMnO₄ : 158,034 g/mol
[tex]\tt mass=0.2\times 158,034 =31.607~g[/tex]
