A company manufacturing KMnO4 wants to obtain the highest yield possible. Two of their research scientists are working on a technique to increase the yield. Both scientists started with 50.0 g of manganese oxide.

What is the theoretical yield of potassium permanganate when starting with 50.0 g MnO2?

The equation for the production of potassium permanganate is as follows:

2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 → 2 KMnO4 + 2 KOH + H2

The answer is not c

In reversible reaction chemistry equilibrium is attained when the forward and reverse reactions are taking place at the same rate, thus, the concentrations of reactants and products remain the same. a reversible reaction is a chemical reaction where the reactants form products that, in turn, react together to give the reactants back. in irreversible reactions on the other hand, the reactants react to form the products, which cannot revert back into reactants.
