Potassium permanganate is a chemical compound with formula KMnO4 . It is violet-black in colour. It consists of Potassium, manganese and oxygen atoms. It is an oxidizing agent as here manganese is in +7 oxidation state. It is very soluble in water giving purple solutions. It can oxidize aldehydes to carboxylic acids, and secondary alcohols into ketones. It dissolves in many acids to give Manganese(II) salts. It is also reduced in strong alkaline conditions to Manganate (MnO4-2) ions, which are greenish in colour. It is a strong oxidizer, so it may cause many organic materials to catch fire on its contact. It can stain the skin, to brown colour. It has a horrible taste, and it will also stain the tongue and damage some taste buds. It also has antiseptic properties, so it is sometimes used in water purification.

What is the chemical formula Magnesium permanganate?
Mg(MnO4)2Magnesium permanganate is (as one would expect) made of magnesium and permanganate. The elemental abbreviation of magnesium is Mg. The chemical formula of permanganate is MnO4. Magnesium has 2 electrons in its outer shell, which gives it an overall charge of +2 (or -6). The overall charge of permanganate (MnO4) is -1, which is the same thing as +7. By the octet rule, this compound and element must combine in multiples of 8 electrons. 2+7+7=16, which is a multiple of 8. -6-1-1=-8 also works. Therefore, magnesium and permanganate will combine in a ratio of 1:2. This is expressed as Mg(MnO4)2. The parentheses are present to demonstrate that the 2 is to be distributed to everything in them. Note: The numbers should be in subscripts.
What happens when zinc dust is added to an acidified solution of potassium permanganate?
KMno4 is reduced to Mn^2+ Salt and the pink colour is discharged by the nascent hydrogen produced when zinc reacts with h2so4
