Barium permanganate heptoxide. Barium permanganate Barium permanganate is a chemical compound, with the formula Ba(MnO). 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. Permanganic acid 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,
Environmental impact of silver nanoparticles catalyzing chemical reactions, Raman imaging, and antimicrobial sterilization. Along with its antimicrobial properties, its low mammalian cell toxicity makes these particles a common addition to consumer products. Washing textiles embedded with silver nanoparticles results in the oxidation and transformation of metallic Ag into AgCl. Silver nanoparticles have different physicochemical characteristics from the free silver ion, Ag and possess increased optical, electromagnetic, and catalytic properties. Particles with one dimension of 100 nm or less can generate reactive oxygen species. Smaller particles less than 10 nm may pass through cellular membranes and accumulate within the cell. Silver nanoparticles were also found to
