    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_permanganate...

    Potassium permanganate is used as a medication for a number of skin conditions. [2] This includes fungal infections of the foot, impetigo, pemphigus, superficial wounds, dermatitis, and tropical ulcers. [3] [2] For tropical ulcers it is used together with procaine benzylpenicillin. [2] [3] It can be applied as a soaked dressing or a bath. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_permanganate

    Addition of concentrated sulfuric acid to potassium permanganate gives Mn 2 O 7. [76] Although no reaction may be apparent, the vapor over the mixture will ignite paper impregnated with alcohol. Potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid react to produce some ozone, which has a high oxidizing power and rapidly oxidizes the alcohol, causing it to ...

    Bactericidal antibiotics kill bacteria; bacteriostatic antibiotics slow their growth or reproduction. Bactericidal antibiotics that inhibit cell wall synthesis: the beta-lactam antibiotics ( penicillin derivatives ( penams ), cephalosporins ( cephems ), monobactams , and carbapenems ) and vancomycin .

  5. Oligodynamic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligodynamic_effect

    This effect is attributed to the antibacterial behavior of metal ions, which are absorbed by bacteria upon contact and damage their cell membranes. [1] In modern times, the effect was observed by Carl Nägeli, although he did not identify the cause. [2] Brass doorknobs, brass handrails, and silverware all exhibit this effect to an extent.

    According to theory, permanganate is strong enough to oxidize water, but this does not actually happen to any extent. Besides this, it is stable. It is a useful reagent, but it is not very selective with organic compounds. Potassium permanganate is used as a disinfectant and water treatment additive in aquaculture. [6]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol_and_potassium...

    Potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) is a dark violet colored powder. Its reaction with glycerol (commonly known as glycerin or glycerine) (C 3 H 5 (OH) 3) is highly exothermic, resulting rapidly in a flame, along with the formation of carbon dioxide and water vapour: 14 KMnO 4 (s) + 4 C 3 H 5 (OH) 3 (l) → 7 K 2 CO 3 (s) + 7 Mn 2 O 3 (s) + 5 CO 2 ...
