Chapter 14, Problem 96QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given statement, whether or not ${\text{KMnO}}_4$ , ${\text{K}}_2{\text{CrO}}_{\text{4}}$ , and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$ are the good oxidising agents, is to be explained.

Concept Introduction

The power of oxidizing agent depends upon the oxidation state of the central atom and higher the oxidation state of the central atom, higher will be its oxidising power.
