Hey,

 

I was wondering what the results of aqueous

 

FeSO4 + KMnO4

 

under acidic conditions would be, and also what colour changes would be observed. I know FeSO4 is initially green, and KMnO4 is purple, but i'm not sure of the changes in oxidation states that would occur.

 

Would go to Fe2O3 + MnO2, therefore turning a blackish brown? but then the K is not accounted for.

it goes clear :)

 

in fact KMNO4 is used in the steel industry to analyse the pickling acid to check for Iron levels by titration.
