Question

Give any two applications of $KMnO_{4}$.

Answer 1

$\huge \bold{hlo \: mate}$

The permanganate ion [MnO4]− contains manganese at its highest oxidation state. (Which is 7+).

Manganese really wants to get back to a more stable and lower oxidation number (such as the divalent, 2+).

In order to accomplish this, it will react with a lot of compounds and oxidize them.

Answer 2
