The reaction of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$ with potassium permanganate in acidic medium leads to the formation of mainly :

Accepted Answer

The reaction of

\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}

with

\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}

in acidic medium is as

\begin{aligned}2 \mathrm{KMnO}_{4}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+5 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \\&amp; \rightarrow \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+2 \mathrm{MnSO}_{4}+8 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+5 \mathrm{O}_{2}\end{aligned}

\therefore \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}

will be formed as the product.
