Potassium Permanganate Hydrogen Peroxide Reaction
The reaction between potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide
Over the years, those who have learned the order have studied the reaction between potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide. The two touch each other, and it becomes strange, which prompts everyone to look and think.
One day, all the students gathered in the laboratory of the Academy. On the case was potassium permanganate, purple-black in color, bright and shiny, like a treasure of the night. There is also hydrogen peroxide, a colorless clear liquid, standing in a bottle.
Teacher Ling Sheng took a little hydrogen peroxide with a dropper and dropped it into a vessel containing potassium permanganate. In an instant, chaos broke out in the bottle. I saw bubbles surging out, like a boiling spring surging, and it was very sick. And there is smoke rising, the color changes, at first it is light, and then it is thick, just like a fantasy scene.
All beings are shocked, and their eyes are fixed on this, and their hearts are confused. Someone asked: "When the two meet, why did this great change occur?" The teacher replied with a smile: "Potassium permanganate has strong oxidizing properties. Although hydrogen peroxide also has the ability to oxidize, when it encounters potassium permanganate, it is reduced. When the two meet, a redox reaction occurs. Potassium permanganate gains electrons, and the valence state changes; hydrogen peroxide loses electrons, and the form also changes. During this process, oxygen escapes, so bubbles are seen; and due to the violent reaction, water is vaporized due to heat generation, and smoke is formed."
All living beings hear it, and they all understand it. Then they observe its changes, remember the phenomena in detail, and think about the mechanism. After this incident, all living beings have more awe and curiosity about the wonders of chemistry, and have a deeper understanding of the principles of oxidation and reduction. In the future, I will study and recall this matter often, so as to promote the study of various reactions, and my knowledge will grow.
