Potassium Permanganate is an inorganic compound, it is also known as Condy’s Crystals, Potassium Manganate (VII) or Permanganate of Potash.

Potassium Permanganate is a dark purple crystalline inorganic compound, it is also been known as in the past as Condy’s Crystals, Potassium Manganate (VII) or Permanganate of Potash. It has the appearance of dark purple crystals. It was first prepared in the 17th Century by a German-Dutch Chemist Johann Rudolf Glauber by fusing a mixture of Potassium Carbonate and Manganese Dioxide, forming Potassium Manganate, which when in solution turned from green to purple, giving aqueous Potassium Permanganate. Most of Potassium Permanganates applications relies on its oxidising properties – Uses and Applications are covered in the next slider bar.. Read More
