Potassium manganate when [] < 1M, follows bimolecular kinetics. See for a list. Potassium manganate Potassium manganate is the inorganic compound with the formula KMnO. This green-colored salt is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of potassium permanganate (KMnO), a common chemical. Occasionally, potassium manganate and potassium "per"manganate are confused, but they are different compounds with distinctly different properties. KMnO is a salt, consisting of K cations and MnO anions. X-ray crystallography shows that the anion is tetrahedral, with Mn-O distances of 1.66 Å, ca. 0.03 Å longer than the Mn-O distances in KMnO. It is isostructural with potassium sulfate. The industrial
Potassium pyrosulfate OSOSO. The oxidation state of sulfur in this compound is +6. Potassium pyrosulfate is used in analytical chemistry; samples are fused with potassium pyrosulfate, (or a mixture of potassium pyrosulfate and potassium fluoride) to ensure complete dissolution prior to a quantitative analysis. The compound is also present in a catalyst in conjunction with vanadium(V) oxide in the industrial production of sulfur trioxide. Potassium pyrosulfate Potassium pyrosulfate, or potassium disulfate, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula KSO. Potassium pyrosulfate is obtained by the thermal decomposition of other salts, most directly from potassium bisulfate: Temperatures above 600°C further decompose potassium
