Thermal Decomposition of Potassium Permanganate

2KMnO4 → K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2

개요

Potassium permanganate, a deep purple crystalline solid, decomposes when heated above 240 C to form potassium manganate, manganese dioxide, and oxygen gas. This is one of the most visually striking decomposition reactions, as the purple solid transforms to green and brown products while releasing gas.
