Permanganate can oxidize chloride anion to chlorine in acidic solution.
Explanation:
So the overall redox reaction is
Given that permanganate ion solutions are intensely purple in colour, what would you observe in this reaction? Are mass and charge conserved in these reactions? They should be, and if they are not they are wrong!
