A weak acid such as carbonic acid is sufficient for this reaction: 3 K 2 MnO 4 + 2 CO 2 2 KMnO 4 + 2 K 2 CO 3 + MnO 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {3 K2MnO4 + 2 CO2 -> 2 KMnO4 + 2 K2CO3 + MnO2}}} Permanganate salts may also be generated by treating a solution of Mn 2+ ions with strong oxidants such as lead dioxide (PbO 2 ), sodium bismuthate (NaBiO 3 ...
A permanganate can oxidize an amine to a nitro compound, [7] [8] an alcohol to a ketone, [9] an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid, [10] [11] a terminal alkene to a carboxylic acid, [12] oxalic acid to carbon dioxide, [13] and an alkene to a diol. [14] This list is not exhaustive. In alkene oxidations one intermediate is a cyclic Mn(V) species: [15]
Basic cations like calcium are leached from the soil as acidic rainfall flows, which allows aluminum and proton levels to increase. [3] [4] Nitric and sulfuric acids in acid rain and snow can have different effects on the acidification of forest soils, particularly seasonally in regions where a snow pack may accumulate during the winter.

2), and normally falls between 3 and 10, with 7 being neutral. Acid soils have a pH below 7 and alkaline soils have a pH above 7. Ultra-acidic soils (pH < 3.5) and very strongly alkaline soils (pH > 9) are rare. [2] [3] Soil pH is considered a master variable in soils as it affects many chemical processes.
The type of clay that is formed is a function of the parent material and the composition of the minerals in solution. [13] Clay minerals continue to be formed as long as the soil exists. [14] Mica-based clays result from a modification of the primary mica mineral in such a way that it behaves and is classed as a clay. [15]
