The chemical reaction, in which ethylene (C 2 H 4) is oxidised by potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) to carbon dioxide (CO 2), manganese oxide (MnO 2) and potassium hydroxide (KOH), in the presence of water, is presented as follows: [55] 3 C 2 H 4 + 12 KMnO 4 + 2 H 2 O → 6 CO 2 + 2 H 2 O + 12 MnO 2 + 12 KOH
Potassium manganate is the inorganic compound with the formula K 2 MnO 4. This green-colored salt is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of potassium permanganate (KMnO 4), a common chemical. [1] Occasionally, potassium manganate and potassium permanganate are confused, but each compound's properties are distinct.
The white smoke-like vapor produced by the reaction is a mixture of carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Since the reaction is highly exothermic, initial sparking occurs, followed by a lilac- or pink-colored flame. [9] When energy or heat is added to electrons, their energy level increases to an excited state.
A permanganate can oxidize an amine to a nitro compound, [7] [8] an alcohol to a ketone, [9] an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid, [10] [11] a terminal alkene to a carboxylic acid, [12] oxalic acid to carbon dioxide, [13] and an alkene to a diol. [14] This list is not exhaustive. In alkene oxidations one intermediate is a cyclic Mn(V) species: [15]
In thermochemistry, a thermochemical equation is a balanced chemical equation that represents the energy changes from a system to its surroundings. One such equation involves the enthalpy change, which is denoted with Δ H {\displaystyle \Delta H} In variable form, a thermochemical equation would appear similar to the following:
The chemical chameleon reaction shows the process in reverse, by reducing violet potassium permanganate first to green potassium manganate and eventually to brown manganese dioxide: [1] [2] [5] KMnO 4 (violet) → K 2 MnO 4 (green) → MnO 2 (brown/yellow suspension) Blue potassium hypomanganate may also form as an intermediate.

Bill Murray appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast (via The Daily Beast) and defended the current cast of “Saturday Night Live” from critics who say the show has ...
The salt is prepared from the reaction of potassium permanganate with calcium chloride [2] or from the reaction of aluminium permanganate with calcium oxide.It can also be prepared by reacting manganese dioxide with a solution of calcium hypochlorite and a little bit of calcium hydroxide to increase the pH level.
