At low pH value this decomposition takes place:
3 K2MnO4 + 2 H2O → 2 KMnO4 + MnO2 + 4 KOH
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.
"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
KMnO4 is the strongest oxidizer of these chemicals.
well this reaction its a test for distinction of unsaturated hydrocarbons from saturated ones.and when unsaturated hydrocarbons react with baeyer's reagent its pink colour disappears. What happens in this reaction is actually the KMnO4 reacts with alkali and releases K2MnO4+H2O+[O] The nascent oxygen along with water reacts with alkene giving off alkanediol.
Empirical: K2MnO4

Yes, Potassium manganate(VII), K2MnO4 or Potassium permanganate is an oxidizing agent
KOH is the reactant in this reaction:2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 = 2 K2MnO4 + 2 H2O
I'm not entirely sure but I'm pretty positive it turns black, thus releasing oxygen and this can be proved if the test tube containing the potassium manganate VII is connected to another test tube or bowl containig limewater because it will start to bubble and turn cloudy or milky.
Is often used in aquaculture as an oxidizing agent to improve water quality and fish environment. Potassium Permanganate is a salt with the formulae of KMnO4.
Potassium permanganate
here is the rection... 2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 = K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 3H2O + 2.5O2 (alkaline) and in other conditions... 6 KMnO4 + 9 H2SO4 → 6 MnSO4 + 3 K2SO4 + 9 H2O + 5 O3 The H2SO4/KMnO4 reaction can also produce the oily Mn2O7, which is unstable and can decompose explosively.
The half equation for the reduction of carbon dioxide to methanoic acid and its standard electrode potential value is given as: CO2 + 2H+ + 2e- gives HCOOH EO = -0.11 V The half equation for the reduction of ACIDIFIED potassium manganate(VII) and its standard electrode potential value is given as: MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- gives Mn2+ + 4H2O EO = +1.51 V Thus, the standard electrode potential E for the overall reaction is: E = 1.51 - (-0.11) = +1.62 V Since it is positive (and well positive), the oxidation of methanoic acid by potassium manganate(VII) can take place under standard conditions. The overall equation (obtained by balancing the number of electrons) is: 2MnO4- + 6H+ + 5HCOOH gives 2Mn2+ + 8H2O + 5CO2

Yes, I believe it is! It looks like Potassium nitrite. An ionic compound is basically one of these four forms: 1) a metal+ a nonmetal 2) a metal+ a polyatomic anion 3) a polyatomic cation+ a nonmetal 4) 2 polyatomic ions (of opp. charges) Hope this helps! :D
Oxygen gas in evolved. 2KMnO4 ---> K2MnO4 + MnO2(s) + O2
