Question
When a crystal of potassium permanganate is placed in a beaker, its purple colour spreads throughout the water. What does this observation tell us about the nature of potassium permanganate and water?

Solution
The particles of potassium permanganate and water mix on their own without any stirring. Two conclusions can be drawn from this phenomenon. These are:
- Potassium permanganate and water are made up of very tiny particles.
- Water particles have large spaces between them which are occupied by the tiny potassium permanganate particles.

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.
