REACTION OF POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE AND GLYCEROL

Reaction of potassium permanganate and glycerol, what happens when these two chemicals react?

Watch this demonstration as these two chemicals ignite in this rather violent exothermic redox reaction.

Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidising agent and gets reduced by the glycerol to leave manganese dioxide, potassium carbonate, carbon dioxide and water. This reaction produces a lot of light and heat as the reaction speeds up.

My reactants failed to do their thing, aside from getting a little warm. I haven't been doing demonstrations for a couple of years (due to COVID) so my chemicals have just been sitting there on the shelf. I wonder if the glycerol has gotten wet, even though it's been capped all this time.

Nice to see the equation. I wonder if breaking open a Locket and placing it on top of the dry heap would work...? You never got that saucer clean again did you! ;-)

When we burn potassium permanganate with sulphur
