Potassium Permanganate

Potassium permanganate is a dark purple crystalline solid with the chemical formula KMnO4. It is extracted from pyrolusite ore using potassium hydroxide and oxygen. Potassium permanganate exhibits strong oxidizing properties in acidic, basic, and neutral mediums, oxidizing substances like Fe2+, oxalic acid, iodide, and hydrogen sulfide. It is commonly used in redox titrations as a self-indicator, changing color from purple to colorless upon reaction.

Extraction from Pyrolusite Ore
● Extraction equation:
● MnO2 + 4KOH + O2 → 2KMnO4 + 2H2O
Oxidizing Nature in Acidic Medium

● Oxidation reaction:
● KMnO4 + 8H+ + 5Fe2+ → K+ + Mn2+ + 4H2O
+ 5Fe3+
Oxidizing Nature in Basic
Medium
● Oxidation reaction:
● 2KMnO4 + 4KOH + 3I2 → 2K2MnO4 +

Use in Redox Titration
● Potassium permanganate is commonly used in redox
titrations.
● It acts as a self-indicator, changing color from purple to
colorless.
● Example: Titration of ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) solution
with potassium permanganate:
● MnO4- + 5Fe2+ + 8H+ → Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O
Summary
● Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a dark purple
crystalline solid.
● It is extracted from pyrolusite ore using potassium
hydroxide and oxygen.
● It exhibits strong oxidizing properties in acidic, basic,
and neutral mediums.
● In acidic medium, it oxidizes Fe2+, oxalic acid, and other
substances.
● In basic medium, it oxidizes iodide (KI).
