2. Test for Reducing Agents

a) Using oxidising agent Potassium manganate(VII)

If reducing agents are present, acidified potassium manganate(VII) is oxidised to manganate(II) ions.

1. Add acidified potassium manganate(VII) to unknown colourless solution S.
Observations

Purple KMnO4 solution decolourised.

Chemical reaction

Redox reaction.

Sample S is a reducing agent that reduced purple KMnO4 to a colourless solution of manganese(II) ions, Mn2+.
