When glycerol and dry potassium permanaganate are added together, an extremely exothermic reaction occurs. The potassium permanaganate is an extremely strong oxidizer and it completely oxidizes the glycerol to water and carbon dioxide.

Could you do a video on Reduction and Oxidation chemistry? I always seem to get them confused. Many thanks !
What exactly confuses you? Or is it just redox reactions in general? I will try to find something good to explain. Maybe voltaic cells?
Just redox in general and their equations. Thanks !
okay, Ill do my best to figure something out when I get the time!
U r amazing man lol from Pakistan
Might you have an idea of the temperature range of this reaction? I know there'll be variance, but there doesn't seem to be a number or range given in the common net reference pages...
+Nevin Williams I honestly have no idea
+Nevin Williams Testing in my home lab I got temperatures of about 370C.
@Christopher Eschler Thanks!
That doesn't seem right seeing as this reaction is commonly used to start thermite (which needs very high temperatures). I would estimate higher at maybe 2000˚C.
Unpaired Electron - I agree with you. If you look at the end of the reaction you can see the temperature technically because of black-body radiation. The red glowing indicates temperatures of at least 1000K and the orange colors are closer to 3000K.
What was the approximate temperature reached during this reaction? I saw an orange glow after everything was done burning out.
+Jonathan Gingiloski I am really not sure

V2 missile had a weird fuel pump like this
Super.....it is worked
i done get it....kmno4 + secondary and primary alcohol should produce ketone and carboxylic acid
so why did it create co2?
edit:
perhaps because it was so hot the 2-propanone-1,3-dicarboxylic acid was burned?
would it have been possible to do it in water so it wouldnt burn and just produce the 2-propanone-1,3-dicarboxylic acid?
Seems like too much glycerine. I think I remember from 50 years ago we only used a couple of drops on a pile, and it produced more fire. Isn't there another, like glycerine or brake fluid on pool chlorine.
potassium permanganate and calcium chloride reaction
Does anyone know how pure the Potassium Permanganate should be?
was the purple flame due to Potassium?
+Sor Sor Science07 yes!

do potassium permanganate gasoline of potassium permanganate and an alcohol

Make a propylene glicol please 🙏
in my country potassium permanganate is illegal
Isnt glycerin and glycerol kinda different

This redox system has practical applications as well. I use it to start camp fires on hiking trips. It's much easier to start a fire this way than using matches. As an added bonus, the potassium permanganate can also be used to purify water if you run out of drinking water.

Somehow neither of those applications had occurred to me. Neat.

I know it works but I’m not brave enough to try either
