Manganese carbonate decomposes with release of carbon dioxide, i.e. calcining, at 200 °C to give MnO 1.88: MnCO 3 + 0.44 O 2 → MnO 1.8 + CO 2. This method is sometimes employed in the production of manganese dioxide, which is used in dry-cell batteries and for ferrites. [3] Manganese carbonate is widely used as an additive within plant ...
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO 3. In its pure form (rare), it is typically a rose-red colour, [ 5 ] but it can also be shades of pink to pale brown. It streaks white, [ 6 ] and its Mohs hardness varies between 3.5 and 4.5.
Ankerite, also known as brown spar [5]: 258 (German: braunspat) is a calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese carbonate mineral of the group of rhombohedral carbonates with the chemical formula Ca(Fe,Mg,Mn)(CO 3) 2.
Manganocalcite. Manganoan calcite or manganocalcite is a variety of calcite rich in manganese, which gives the mineral a pink color. [1] Its chemical formula is (Ca,Mn)CO 3.It was first reported from the Banská Štiavnica Mining District, Slovak Republic, [1] but is widely distributed around the world, notably in the Cave of Swords at Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico as well as in Bulgaria.
Zinc, magnesium, and manganese commonly substitute for the iron, resulting in the siderite-smithsonite, siderite-magnesite, and siderite-rhodochrosite solid solution series. [ 3 ] Siderite has Mohs hardness of 3.75 to 4.25, a specific gravity of 3.96, a white streak and a vitreous or pearly luster .

The bead test is a traditional part of qualitative inorganic analysis to test for the presence of certain metals. The oldest one is the borax bead test or blister test.It was introduced by Berzelius in 1812. [1]
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.
