Role of MnSO4 in permanganometric titration
Both the oxidating ion $\ce{MnO4-}$ and reducing ion $\ce{C2O4^2-}$ are anions and therefore electrostatically repulsing each other, what makes their reaction slow.
$\ce{Mn^2+}$ ions serve as catalyst,...

What is brown/red precipitate in battery acid
You did something responsible with the acid (which is usually around 35% if memory serves) such as neutralize it to pH 7, right?
The best (and cheapest) way to neutralize sulfuric acid is with ash ...

What is brown/red precipitate in battery acid
Lead oxides have various colors.
$\ce{PbO}$ is red or yellow.
$\ce{Pb3O4}$ is orange or red.
$\ce{PbO2}$ is brown or black.
Likely you have a mix of all of them.
BTW, this is not the safest ...

Why does the reaction "pause" when the battery is not connected to a circuit? (or does it?)
In a battery, the zinc and manganese reagents are kept separate, and so the electrons can only flow when both parts of the battery are connected via an electric circuit.
If you take a look at the ...

Why does the reaction "pause" when the battery is not connected to a circuit? (or does it?)
If no wire is joining the zinc plate and the $\ce{MnO2}$ plate, the whole setup would not be a cell or a battery. It wouldn't produce any anode or any cathode. The whole setup would simply be a ...

What is meant by 'as Cl2'
Let imagine there are 3 bank accounts, one with 10000 Euros, one with 10000 US dollars, one with 10000 UK pounds. Let assume - just illustratively - there is exchange ratio 5 dollars per 4 Euros and ...

How do I explain that voltage decreases when increasing the concentration of the cathode in a voltaic cell?
Nernst eqn says that,
$$E_c=E^o_c-\frac{0.059}{n}logQ_c$$.
Now $Q_c = \frac{products}{reactants}$
If I take the cell reaction $\ce{Zn + Cu^2+ -> Zn^2+ + Cu}$,
$Q_c=\frac{[\ce{Zn^2+}](anode)}{[\ce{...

What is meant by 'as Cl2'
In general, sentences like "The concentration of X as Y is z mg/L" should be interpreted to mean "If you extract all the X from 1 L of solution, then convert the X completely to Y (...

is alkyl halide turning into alkene reduction or oxidation?
HI is being removed in the reaction. It is $\beta$-elimination. I really am not able to see any changes in the oxidation numbers also.
$\ce{CH3-CH(I)-CH2-CH3}$ will undergo dehydrohalogenation.
Only ...

Acid dissociation constant from conductometric data
This answer is more about the chemistry and how the conductivity relates to the ions present, and does not show a numerical solution. For that, check the answer by Poutin.
Here is the acid/base ...

Acid dissociation constant from conductometric data
The molar conductivity $\Lambda_\ce{AHCl hydr}=\pu{119.4 S cm2 mol−1}$ is equivalent to the partially hydrolyzed hydrolyzed anilinium chloride, according to the hydrolysis constant.
$$\ce{PhNH3+(aq) + ...

Find cell configuration notation for permanganate in acidic medium
Because I heard people saying that since the anode already has a solid substance (solid iodine) it's not necessary to add platinum to the anode. I digress because I think platinum is necessary for the ...

Which of the following might turn NaNO2 into N2?
To get N2 from NaNO2, NaNO2 must be reduced right, So we need a reducing agent which oxidizes itself and would reduce NaNO2
Now look at the options
Let's see HNO3, the oxidation state of Nitrogen is ...
