Potassium permanganate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula KMnO4<\/sub>. It is a manganic acid potassium salt. It is also known as Condy’s crystals or potash permanganate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johann Rudolf Glauber, a German-Dutch chemist, was the first to discover the  KMnO4<\/sub> in 1659. This water-soluble molecule is made up of two ions: permanganate ion and potassium ion. In its physical state, it is a dark purple odorless solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When potassium permanganate crystals are dissolved in water, a purple solution is generated. It is a potent oxidizing agent that does not produce harmful byproducts. It’s frequently made from other minerals like manganese oxide. Firstly, It was invented as a disinfectant. It has since been widely used to treat a wide range of skin diseases, including fungal infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
