  2. Glycerol and potassium permanganate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol_and_potassium...

    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.

For example, addition of potassium permanganate to an aqueous solution of sugar and sodium hydroxide produces the chemical chameleon reaction, which involves dramatic color changes associated with ...

  4. Permanganate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanganate

    They have a deep purple colour, due to a charge transfer transition from oxo ligand p orbitals to empty orbitals derived from manganese(VII) d orbitals. [5] Permanganate(VII) is a strong oxidizer, and similar to perchlorate. It is therefore in common use in qualitative analysis that involves redox reactions (permanganometry). According to ...

  5. Potassium manganate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_manganate

    This reaction illustrates the relatively rare role of hydroxide as a reducing agent. The concentration of K 2 MnO 4 in such solutions can be checked by measuring their absorbance at 610 nm. The one-electron reduction of permanganate to manganate can also be effected using iodide as the reducing agent: 2 KMnO 4 + 2 KI → 2 K 2 MnO 4 + I 2

    2 KNO 3 + 5 Mg → K 2 O + N 2 + 5 MgO. The composition is 62.4% KNO 3 : 37.6% Mg by weight for the reactants of the above stoichiometrically balanced equation. Below is the same reaction but involving barium nitrate. Ba(NO 3) 2 + 5 Mg → BaO + N 2 + 5 MgO. Mixtures designed to make reports are substantially different from mixtures designed ...

  7. Chemical chameleon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_chameleon

    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. [6]

  8. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols form ketones, while primary alcohols form aldehydes or carboxylic acids. [1] A variety of oxidants can be used.

    Overall 2H 2 O → 2H 2 + O 2 E°cell = +1.23 V; ΔG = 475 kJ/mol . Water splitting can be done at higher pH values as well however the standard potentials will vary according to the Nernst equation and therefore shift by -59 mV for each pH unit increase. However, the total cell potential (difference between oxidation and reduction half cell ...
