permanganate
Violet chemical compound
Permanganate is a chemical compound containing manganese and oxygen, most commonly encountered as potassium permanganate—a deep purple crystalline solid that dissolves to form an intensely colored solution.
It serves as a powerful oxidizing agent used in water treatment, disinfection, and chemical synthesis: The lab used permanganate to test for unsaturated compounds.
