First of all I would like to know the differences in formulae between Potassium Mangante and Potassium Permanganate.
Secondly, In a test between Potassium Manganate (VII) and an unknown organic solution, the solution turned from pink to dark red. Does anyone know which functional group would be present in solution?
Potassium Magante is K2MnO4 whereas the permanganate is KMnO4, in the second one the Mn as a higher oxidation state of +7, the other one just +6. It would show that a double bond is present. (It oxides the alkene to a diol, which changes the oxidation state of the Mn changing it's colour)
