Potassium permanganate is toxic if taken by mouth. [29] Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and shortness of breath may occur. [30] If a sufficiently large amount (about 10 grams) is eaten death may occur. [30] Concentrated solutions when drunk have resulted in acute respiratory distress syndrome or swelling of the airway. [31]
Potassium permanganate is an oxidizing agent. [5] The British National Formulary recommends that each 100 mg be dissolved in a liter of water before use. [3] Potassium permanganate was first made in the 1600s and came into common medical use at least as early as the 1800s. [6] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines ...
Jmol is computer software for molecular modelling of chemical structures in 3 dimensions. [2] It is an open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D [3]. The name originated from ava (the programming language) + [mol]ecules, and also the mol file format. JSmol is an implementation in JavaScript of the functionality of Jmol. [4]
Using Jmol to display molecular models" is work in progress to use the Jmol applet to display molecular models of chemical and biochemical molecules in Wikipedia articles. Jmol is now frequently used in standard HTML pages to display molecules which can then be manipulated using the mouse.
A permanganate (/ p ər ˈ m æ ŋ ɡ ə n eɪ t, p ɜːr-/) [1] is a chemical compound with the manganate(VII) ion, MnO − 4, the conjugate base of permanganic acid.Because the manganese atom has a +7 oxidation state, the permanganate(VII) ion is a strong oxidising agent.
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.
Permanganic acid has also been prepared through the reaction of hydrofluorosilicic acid with potassium permanganate, [4] through electrolysis, and through hydrolysis of manganese heptoxide, though the last route often results in explosions. [5] Crystalline permanganic acid has been prepared at low temperatures as the dihydrate, HMnO 4 ·2H 2 O. [3]
β-Hydroxy β-methylbutyric acid [note 1] (HMB), otherwise known as its conjugate base, β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate, is a naturally produced substance in humans that is used as a dietary supplement and as an ingredient in certain medical foods that are intended to promote wound healing and provide nutritional support for people with muscle wasting due to cancer or HIV/AIDS.
