Manganese oxide is any of a variety of manganese oxides and hydroxides. [1] These include Manganese(II) oxide, MnO; Manganese(II,III) oxide, Mn 3 O 4; Manganese(III) oxide, Mn 2 O 3; Manganese dioxide, MnO 2; Manganese(VI) oxide, MnO 3; Manganese(VII) oxide, Mn 2 O 7; Other manganese oxides include Mn 5 O 8, Mn 7 O 12 and Mn 7 O 13.
Manganese(VII) oxide (manganese heptoxide) is an inorganic compound with the formula Mn 2 O 7. Manganese heptoxide is a volatile liquid with an oily consistency. It is a highly reactive and powerful oxidizer that reacts explosively with nearly any organic compound. It was first described in 1860. [1] It is the acid anhydride of permanganic acid.
Manganese(IV) oxide is a blackish or brown solid occurs naturally as the mineral pyrolusite, which is the main ore of manganese and a component of manganese nodules. The principal use for MnO 2 is for dry-cell batteries, such as the alkaline battery and the zinc–carbon battery. [6] Manganese(VII) oxide is dark green in its crystalline form.
Manganese dioxide also catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water: 2 H 2 O 2 → 2 H 2 O + O 2. Manganese dioxide decomposes above about 530 °C to manganese(III) oxide and oxygen. At temperatures close to 1000 °C, the mixed-valence compound Mn 3 O 4 forms. Higher temperatures give MnO, which is reduced only with ...
Manganese oxalate is a chemical compound, a salt of manganese and oxalic acid with the chemical formula MnC 2 O 4. [2] [3] The compound creates light pink crystals, does not dissolve in water, and forms crystalline hydrates. [4] It occurs naturally as the mineral Lindbergite. [5]
Manganite is a mineral composed of manganese oxide-hydroxide, MnO(OH), crystallizing in the monoclinic system (pseudo-orthorhombic). [3] Crystals of manganite are prismatic and deeply striated parallel to their length; they are often grouped together in bundles. The color is dark steel-grey to iron-black, and the luster brilliant and ...
Permanganic acid (or manganic(VII) acid) is the inorganic compound with the formula H MnO 4 and various hydrates. [3] This strong oxoacid has been isolated as its dihydrate. It is the conjugate acid of permanganate salts. It is the subject of few publications and its characterization as well as its uses are very limited.
An alternative route, mostly for demonstration purposes, is the oxalate method, which also applicable to the synthesis of ferrous oxide and stannous oxide. Upon heating in an oxygen-free atmosphere (usually CO 2), manganese(II) oxalate decomposes into MnO: [9] MnC 2 O 4 ·2H 2 O → MnO + CO 2 + CO + 2 H 2 O
