Is potassium permanganate natural?

Open in App

Solution

Explanation:
Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent.
In the lab, potassium permanganate is synthesized.
The reaction of formation of potassium permanganate is as
$2 {MnO}_{2} (s) + 4 KOH (aq) + O_{2} (g) \overset{∆}{\to} 2 K_{2} {MnO}_{4} (s) + 2 H_{2} O (aq) 2 K_{2} {MnO}_{4} (s) + 4 HCl (aq) \to 2 {KMnO}_{4} (s) + {MnO}_{2} (s) + H_{2} O (aq) + 4 KCl (aq) (Potassium Permanganate)$
Hence, potassium permanganate is not natural.
