Potassium manganate = K2MnO4

Potassium permanganate = KMnO4

It is important to quote the oxidation state of the compound. Potassium manganate could easily be potassium manganate (VI) as opposed to potassium manganate (VII) KMnO4

Potassium manganate (VI) K2MnO4 is a dark green compound made by fusing manganese (IV) oxide with potassium hydroxide. It is stable in basic solution

In aqueous acidic solution it disproportionates to the manganate (VII) ion and manganese (IV) oxide.

No, they are to different, albeit somewhat similar compounds.

Potassium mangante is K2MnO4 and features manganese in the 6+ oxidation state.

Potassium permanganate is KMnO4 with manganese in the 7+ oxidation states.

Why no use indicator in the standardizing potassium permanganate titration?

Usually there is no indicator needed in potassium permanganate titrations as there will be an excess of manganate ions in the conical flask, turning the solution from colourless to pale pink.

What is the chemical reaction of Potassium permanganate?

"Reaction with what other substance? It needs something to react with." Yes, it depends with what it is reacting.....but permanganate is a oxidative reagent, so it could possible oxidate others reagents, like carbon double bonds or triple bonds....if it is acidic solution, it´s more oxidant....it can break bonds and oxidate organic compounds.....itI think that the question is what happens when potassium permanganate (manganate VII) is heated.potassium permanganate + heat= potassium oxide + oxygen
