Question

A student accidentally added conc. H2SO4 to potassium permanganate and it exploded due to the formation of an explosive which is (A)  MnO  (B)  Mn2O3  (C)  Mn2O5  (D)  Mn2O7

When concentrated sulphuric acid is added to potassium permanganate, a mild explosive manganese heptoxide is obtained

2 K M n O_{4} + H_{2} S O_{4} \to M n_{2} O_{7} + K_{2} S O_{4} + H_{2} O

Note

M n_{2} O_{7}

is a powerful oxidising agent and combustible substance Wood, cotton catches fire readily when comes in contact of it
