Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a dark purple crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 158.034 g/mol. Its high density of 2.7 g/cm³ means it will sink in water. This compound decomposes at temperatures above 464 °F and is soluble in many organic solvents and concentrated acids, releasing oxygen in the process. Buyers should consider its form, ensuring the proper technical grade for their specific applications, as well as confirm the concentration and purity needed for effective use.
