Potassium sorbate is a chemical that is formed when potassium salt bonds with sorbic acid, creating a fatty acid salt that is polysaturated. At room temperature, it looks like a white crystalline powder, but the mixture will quickly dissolve in water, which will revert it back to sorbic acid as the potassium dissolves.
Potassium permanganate is a chemical compound made up of potassium, manganese and oxygen. It is a dark purple crystal-like solid and when dissolved in water it creates an intense purple solution.It is a stable compound, but can cause fire if it comes into contact with a combustible material. It can also be used to extend the life of cut flowers. 2  Potassium permanganate is also added to many survival kits because it can be used for starting a fire, sterilizing water and to create an easy-to-read distress sign in the snow.
