KMnO4 reacts with H2SO4 to form Mn2O7 which is highly explosive substance. 2KMnO4 + H2SO4 arrow K2SO4 + Mn2O7 + H2O

Q. When a small amount of $K M n O_{4}$ is added to concentrated $H_{2} S O_{4}$ , a green oily compound is obtained which is highly explosive in nature. Compound may be :

$M n S O_{4}$

$M n_{2} O_{7}$

$M n O_{2}$

$M n_{2} O_{4}$

$K M n O_{4}$ reacts with $H_{2} S O_{4}$ to form $M n_{2} O_{7}$ which is highly explosive substance.
$2 K M n O_{4} + H_{2} S O_{4} \to K_{2} S O_{4} + M n_{2} O_{7} + H_{2} O$
