So, in this episode, I’ll show you an amazing reaction between Ethanol and Potassium Permanganate. For this reaction, we need Ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH), concentrated Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) and Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4).
Firstly, let’s put some potassium permanganate into our evaporation bowl and add several sulfuric acid drops. After a while, strong oxidizer Manganese oxide (VII) is formed from potassium permanganate. Let’s take a droplet of manganese oxide and drip an ethanol droplet on it. At contact of alcohol with manganese oxide, alcohol instantly ignites.
Let’s do the same in this evaporation bowl. The reaction is very rough and sometimes is accompanied by an explosion. This is what happens: manganese oxide decays into manganese dioxide, and alcohol burns down forming a small amount of ethanal (CH3CHO).

can this be used as an hyperbolic fuel?

"Look daddy, a mushroom cloud" !!
-
Wea can i get sum
-
why is potassium permenganate violet although magnesium is half filled?
-
laal daba kaha melage
-
fuck you. I saw that fucking title and I instantly hyped. I literally have both alcohol and potassium permanganate. but then you had to add in that hard to fucking get sulfuric acid. Fuck you.
-
Can I use rubbing alcohol cuz Ethenol is WAY to expensive so can I use rubbing alcohol?
-
what temperature does this reaction burn at?
Fahrenheit and Celsius -
Will HCL and KMNO4 combination give the same result as with sufuric acid ??
And will every alcohol give the same result or just the ethyl alcohol??? -
The manganese heptoxide looked like nitrogen triiodide
-
Please tell me how the red prosperous will burn or ignite itself with the power of chemical which mean which chemical we can use to ignite the match stick from the distance of 1 or 2 inches? without rubbing the match stick how i will ignite fire to match stick from the distance of 1 inch please tell me this is mail id limmakabalaraju35@gmail.com

If we were to do this at school…
-
Ir also happens with bleach and ozone water
-
As a youth, I used to do things like this. I fortunately survived, and with all my fingers and both eyes!
-
would you do a demo of the reaction between nitromethane and powdered sodium hydroxide
-
sir i have east India company bond plate but how to get chainge auto fire bond give me details of chemical please
-
double decomposition reaction
-
looks like something that you should fill empty 2 chambered paintballs with….( for fun of course )
-
AWESOME!
-
nice i gonna build 2 seperate chambers with 1 liter each and bomb my school up thx
-
The cat at the end of video …….Quantum Theory ? ha..ha.
-
That pipette is done for
-
i like this reaction
-
you talk like borat
-
You look like Rick Astley
-
Wtf that intro?
-
patassium paŕrmanganate
-
kids in Africa could have eaten that potassium permanganate
-
who else for scared when the fire just busted out on the fear experiment
-
Could you please also show the reaction (chemical formula reaction) for Potassium Permagnate and H2so4?
-
Would this work with MnO2 extracted from zinc carbon battery's?
-
😯

Thanks for teach me how to make a extremly powerful bomb! 😀 Now i need to know how to get concentrated sulfuric acid. :v
