Preparation of K_2 MnO_4  from MnO_2

  • To prepare K_2 MnO_4 (potassium permanganate) from MnO_2 (magnesium oxide), four molecules of caustic potash should be added (KOH) in the presence of oxygen.  
  • The reaction is expressed below: 2 \mathrm{MnO}_{2}+4 \mathrm{KOH}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{MnO}_{4}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}
  • In simple terms, the reaction can be expressed as:  Two molecules of magnesium oxide react with four molecules of potassium hydroxide in the presence of air to create one molecule of potassium permanganate and two molecules of water.
