The exothermic (heat producing) reaction between potassium permanganate (KMnO 4), a strong oxidizing agent, and glycerol (C 3 H 5 (OH) 3), a readily oxidised organic substance, is an example of an experiment sometimes referred to as a "chemical volcano". [7] [8]
5 c 6 h 5 ch 3 + 6 kmno 4 + 9 h 2 so 4 → 5 c 6 h 5 cooh + 14 h 2 o + 3 k 2 so 4 + 6 mnso 4 Glycols and polyols are highly reactive toward KMnO 4 . 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 ...
The industrial route entails treatment of MnO 2 with air and potassium hydroxide: [1] 2 MnO 2 + 4 KOH + O 2 → 2 K 2 MnO 4 + 2 H 2 O. The transformation gives a green-colored melt. Alternatively, instead of using air, potassium nitrate can be used as the oxidizer: 2 KOH + KNO 3 + MnO 2 → K 2 MnO 4 + H 2 O + KNO 2
When used to oxidize organic compounds, the exact chemical reaction depends on the organic reactant present. 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 −). [6] 8 MnO − 4 + 3 C 2 H 3 Cl 3 → 6 CO 2 + 8 MnO 2 ...
Ammonium permanganate was first prepared by Eilhard Mitscherlich in 1824 by reaction of silver permanganate with equal molar amount of ammonium chloride, filtering the silver chloride and evaporating the water. AgMnO 4 + NH 4 Cl → AgCl + NH 4 MnO 4. It can also be prepared in a similar way from potassium permanganate and ammonium chloride.
Figure 13 shows a common way to illustrate the effect of an enzyme on a given biochemical reaction. [11] Figure 12: An energy profile, showing the products (Y), reactants (X), activation energy (E a) for the endothermic and exothermic reaction, and the enthalpy (ΔH). The profile for same reaction but with a catalyst is also shown.
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.

Both the oxidation and reduction steps are pH dependent. Figure 1 shows the standard potentials at pH 0 (strongly acidic) as referenced to the normal hydrogen electrode (NHE). 2 half reactions (at pH = 0) Oxidation 2H 2 O → 4H + + 4e − + O 2 E° = +1.23 V vs. NHE Reduction 4H + + 4e − → 2H 2 E° = 0.00 V vs. NHE
