Redox Reactions: Crash Course Chemistry #10
All the magic that we know is in the transfer of electrons. Reduction (gaining electrons) and oxidation (the loss of electrons) combine to form Redox chemistry, which contains the majority of chemical reactions. As electrons jump from atom to atom, they carry energy with them, and that transfer of energy is what makes all life…

Alcohol + Potassium permanganate = Explosive reaction!
Please note that this video was made solely for demonstration purposes! Do not attempt to repeat the experiments shown in this video! 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…
