b) i think Br water decolorises only C=C bond
so this reaction should not be possible
Which of the following rxn. is possible ??
Give reasons--
a.H3PO4 decolorising KMnO4
b.H4As2O7 decolorising Br water.

ya,eure u might be right.but in a) both H3PO4 and KMnO4 are at maximum
oxidation states,thus redox reaction will not take place.so,there will be Mn7+ ion in the product
formed. and we know,the colour arises due to charge transfer phenomena to Mn+7.if this ion still
persists, how cn there be decolourisation ?
