When potassium permaganate is mixed with ethanedioc acid the potassium permanganate Mn04- ion will be converted toMn2+, this means that you will observe the purple colour changing to a clear solution and the permanganate ion is oxidised. The Mn2+ will act as an auto catalyst speeding up the reaction, therefore a funny rate will occur, where the reaction is slow to start, before speeding up and slowing down again at the end. I read about this in chemistry review, so you can check it out there...http://www.york.ac.uk/depts/chem/chemrev/autocat.doc.

What happens to the ions when potassium permanganate are dropped into water?

When potassium permanganate is dropped into water, the ions are solvated by the water molecules. This results because potassium permanganate is water soluble. Thus, the solid compound is separated into aqueous ions.

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

What happens if you drink potassium permanganate KMnO4?

You drop Dead on the ground!!!!!! and it causes u too stop breathing and lungs hurt only 99 percent of the world dies for drinking it and 1 percent lives and gets lucky but is still injured for life and if u breath it you need to drink alot of water and go wash out your eyes!!! Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizer and a dangerous chemical. Solutions of KMnO4 may be used with care. See also the link below.
