KMnO4 can be prepared from K2MnO4 as per the reaction: 3MnO4^2− + 2H2O → 2MnO4^− + MnO2 + 4OH^−. The reaction can go to completion by removing OH^− ions by adding:

Question

Accepted Answer

CO2. The reaction can be driven to completion by removing OH⁻ ions. CO₂ reacts with OH⁻ to form HCO₃⁻ or CO₃²⁻, thus reducing the concentration of OH⁻ and shifting the equilibrium forward.
