Question

What would happen to the MnO4- ions if the pH of the solution was too high?

Answer 1

\[MnO_4^-\]
I think it might cause the solution to oxidize but I'm not really sure.

Answer 2

Form a salt? I am not sure.

Answer 3

I don't think if forms a salt because it is already a salt...... KMnO4

Answer 4

ohh yes, silly me :/

hmm I think \(\mathsf{MnO_4^{-}}\) might get reduced to \(\mathsf{MnO_2}\) in basic solution.

Answer 5

or, cause the solution to oxidize.

Answer 6

So, I guess you were right.

Answer 7

Thanks.
