Barium permanganate
Barium permanganate is a chemical compound, with the formula Ba2.Preparation
Barium permanganate may be produced by disproportionation of barium manganate in a mildly acidic solution, or by oxidation of barium manganate with strong oxidants. Preparations relying on aqueous reactions of barium manganate are extremely slow process due to the low solubility of the manganate.Reactions
can be prepared by the reaction of dilute sulfuric acid with a solution barium permanganate, the insoluble barium sulfate byproduct being removed by filtering:
The sulfuric acid used must be dilute; reactions of permanganates with concentrated sulfuric acid yield the anhydride, manganese heptoxide.
