Manganese(III) oxide Manganese(III) oxide Manganese(III) oxide is a chemical compound with the formula MnO. Heating MnO in air at below 800 °C produces α-MnO (higher temperatures produce MnO). γ-MnO can be produced by oxidation followed by dehydration of manganese(II) hydroxide. Many preparations of nano-crystalline MnO have been reported, for example syntheses involving oxidation of Mn salts or reduction of MnO. Manganese (III) oxide is formed by the redox reaction in an alkaline cell: Manganese (III) oxide MnO must not be confused with MnOOH manganese (III) oxyhydroxide. Contrary to MnO, MnOOH is a compound that decomposes at about 300 °C to form MnO.
Chemical clock can be added to some chemical clocks to build a chemical oscillator. For example, the Briggs-Rauscher reaction is derived from an iodine clock reaction by adding perchloric acid, malonic acid and manganese sulfate.. Chemical clock A chemical clock (or clock reaction) is a complex mixture of reacting chemical compounds in which the onset of an observable property occurs after a predictable induction time. In cases where one of the reagents has a visible color, crossing a concentration threshold can lead to an abrupt color change after a reproducible time lapse. One class of example is the iodine clock reactions, in
