If your end product is 1.5 moles of KMnO4, how many moles of manganese oxide were used in the reaction? The equation for the production of potassium permanganate is as follows:

2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 → 2 KMnO4 + 2 KOH + H2
You must show all work

1.5 moles of KMnO4 will be produced from 1.5 moles of MnO2

Explanation:

The balanced equation of this chemical reaction is

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

2 moles of MnO2 produces 2 moles of   KMnO4

That means 1 moles of KMnO4 will be produced from 1 moles of MnO2

Hence, 1.5 moles of KMnO4 will be produced from 1.5 moles of MnO2
