Question

Potassium permanganate (KMnO2) is used as an explosive agent. How

Answer 1

Answer:

0.67mole

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of potassium permanganate  = 105.66g

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

To find the number of moles of the given compound;

  Number of moles  = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$  

Molar mass of KMnO₄   = 39 + 55 + 4(16) = 158g/mol

  Number of moles = $\frac{105.66}{158}$   = 0.67mole
