H2O2 reduces KMnO4. Potassium permanganate, KMnO4, is a strong oxidizing agent and is reduced when it reacts. Here a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is added to an Erlenmeyer flask containing a few specks of potassium permanganate. Violet Mn7+ is reduced to brown Mn4+, forming manganese oxide, MnO2. It then acts as a catalyst for H2O2 decomposition into oxygen gas and water. | |
