    Prep. POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE

    Uploaded by

    Joanna Carla Marmonejo Estorninos-Walker
    Potassium permanganate is a purple liquid with an odorless and crystalline solid state. It is a strong oxidizing agent that must be handled carefully to avoid skin and eye contact or contamination. Potassium permanganate solution has therapeutic uses as an antiseptic, fungicide, and deodorant but causes brown stains. It decomposes when heated to 240°C. Chemical tests show it reacts with hydrogen peroxide to turn from purple to clear and with oxalic acid to lose its violet color.

    EXPERIMENT NO.

    9 PREPARATION OF POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE SOLUTION

     Precaution observed in handling potassium permanganate :


     Wash hands after handling the Potassium Permanganate. Physical Test
     Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Color Purple
     Discard contaminated materials. Odor Odorless
     Observed and Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials. Physical Liquid
     Follow proper disposal method. State
     Do not eat, drink, smoke, or use personal products when handling chemical substance.
     Reagent and solutions made from it should no come in contact with organic matter or other readily oxidizable substances
    because it can cause explosion.
     Synonym: Mineral chameleon
     Pharm uses of Potassium Permanganate solution:
    Therapeutic use: antiseptic and fungicide.
     treatment of various skin infections such as eczema, dermatitis, acne and other fungal infection.
     However, it causes brown stain on skin. It is also used as a powerful deodorant , cleanser and as antidote for strychnine
    poisoning.
    Pharmaceutical use: Chemical reagent (oxidizing agent)
     Potassium Permanganate is heated at 240°C?
     Decomposition. 2KMnO4 -> K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2

    Chemical Test
    with Hydrogen Clear Solution  change in color from purple to pink then immediately turns
    Peroxide to a clear solution.
     Potassium permanganate acts as the Oxidizing agent and
    Hydrogen peroxide as the Reducing agent.
    with Oxalic acid Clear Solution  change in color from violet to clear color of solution.
     oxalic acid acts as a reducing agent and the potassium
    permanganate acts as an oxidizing agent.
    Color of the Flame Purple  Solution or preparation containing potassium always yields
    purple color using flame test
