Exothermic
Yes it is! You will get a thermite reaction
Reaction of Potassium Permanganate and Glycerine Addition of glycerin to a pile of potassium permanganate produces white smoke and a purple flame. The reaction is not instantaneous, but depends on the fineness of the solid crystals. Equation: 14 KMnO4 + 4 C3H5(OH)3 --> 7 K2CO3 + 7 Mn2O3 + 5 CO2 + 16 H2O Reference B. Z. Shakhashiri, "Chemical Demonstrations", Vol. 1, The University of Wisconsin Press, Madison ,Wisconsin, (1983) p. 83. See the Web Links page for a cool video of the reaction!
Glycerin is a clear colorless liquid.
Karl Wilhelm Scheele is known to have discovered glycerin, and Michel Eugene is known to have renamed it "glycerin."
Glycerin is a flammable substance but the rating of its flammability is 1. Glycerin still can affect even though flammability is not as high as the other.
Yes it is! You will get a thermite reaction
Glycerin can be used to make fire by mixing it with Potassium Permanganate. The mixture is the exposed to an open flame where it will quickly ignite and burn at high temperatures.

Glycerol is the non-chemical name for glycerine. It's an over-the-counter gooey liquid you can get at most drug stores. Potassium permanganate is a very common pool fertilizer that you can purchase at some large 'mart' stores, and can always find at any pool store, in a black roughly powdered form. Glycerine is pretty safe. In fact, there are quite a few common uses for it, including soap, lotion, and even as a laxative. Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizer, and therefore needs to be kept away from ignition sources. (Unless, of course, you're using it for one.)
Potassium easily reacts with oxygen, and many oxidizing agents like halogens, chlorates, and nitrates. Potassium reacts with all acids, such as acetic or hydrochloric acid to form a potassium salt and hydrogen gas. Potassium will also react with alcohols. One of the most interesting reactions only takes place in a vacuum. When potassium is placed on a sheet of paper, it will actually rip the oxygen atoms out of the paper and char it black. However, potassium cannot react with ice, as it needs a liquid medium to proceed.
Potassium nitrate itself is not flammable. Only when it is combined with something that has the potential to burn (sugar, wood chips, glycerin, etc), it can increase the flammability and burn rate of that substance.
Glycerin
glycerin
That is the correct spelling of glycerin.
It is possible for glycerin to be encapsulated. The most common form of encapsulated glycerin is Vegetable glycerin. Capsules may be sold at a pharmacy, such as Walgreens or CVS.
