Hey,

 

I was wondering what the results of aqueous

 

FeSO4 + KMnO4

 

under acidic conditions would be, and also what colour changes would be observed. I know FeSO4 is initially green, and KMnO4 is purple, but i'm not sure of the changes in oxidation states that would occur.

 

Would go to Fe2O3 + MnO2, therefore turning a blackish brown? but then the K is not accounted for.

it goes clear :)

 

in fact KMNO4 is used in the steel industry to analyse the pickling acid to check for Iron levels by titration.

which reaction are talking about if you are talking about the reaction between KMnos and Iron sulphate then it Feso4+KMno
