Potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate)

Potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate)

Potassium permanganate — potassium permanganate, potassium salt of manganese acid. Chemical formula — KMnO4. Precursor. The widespread name in life — Potassium permanganate.

Potassium permanganate, serves for bleaching of fabrics (at low concentrations it does not lose oxidizing properties! ), it is added to solutions for liquid gas purification from such dangerous impurity as hydrogen sulfide or phosphine. To chemists the method of chemical analysis – permanganatometriya is well - known (the main character the same potassium permanganate here), and those who profoundly are engaged in the photo are familiar using potassium permanganate as component weakening (reducing facsimile density on film) solutions. Besides, it is good oxidizer of organic substances (by means of KMnO4 receive carboxylic acids from paraffin.
