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.
The reagent is an alkaline solution of potassium permanganate. Reaction with double or triple bonds (R 2 C=CR 2 or R−C≡C−R) causes the color to fade from purplish-pink to brown. Aldehydes and formic acid (and formates) also give a positive test. [43] The test is antiquated. Baeyer's reagent reaction
Potassium permanganate will decompose into potassium manganate, manganese dioxide and oxygen gas: 2 KMnO 4 → K 2 MnO 4 + MnO 2 + O 2. This reaction is a laboratory method to prepare oxygen, but produces samples of potassium manganate contaminated with MnO 2. The former is soluble and the latter is not.
The exact chemical reaction depends on the carbon-containing reactants present and the oxidant used. For example, trichloroethane (C 2 H 3 Cl 3) is oxidised by permanganate ions to form carbon dioxide (CO 2), manganese dioxide (MnO 2), hydrogen ions (H +), and chloride ions (Cl −). [3] 8 MnO − 4 + 3 C 2 H 3 Cl 3 → 6 CO 2 + 8 MnO 2 + H ...
Potassium manganate is prepared industrially, as an intermediate to potassium permanganate, by dissolving manganese dioxide in molten potassium hydroxide with potassium nitrate or air as the oxidizing agent. [2] 2 MnO 2 + 4 OH − + O 2 → 2 MnO 2− 4 + 2 H 2 O
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]
The by-products are dimethyl sulfide (Me 2 S), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO 2) and – when triethylamine is used as base – triethylammonium chloride (C 6 H 15 NHCl). The related N-tert-Butylbenzenesulfinimidoyl chloride combines both the sulfur(IV), the base, and the activating Lewis acid in one molecule.
The ratio of carbon to oxygen produced is within the range of 1 to 2.1–2.9 that is characteristic of graphite oxide. The contaminants are determined to be mostly ash and water. Toxic gases such as dinitrogen tetraoxide and nitrogen dioxide are evolved in the process. The final product is typically 47.06% carbon, 27.97% oxygen, 22.99% water ...
