Potassium permanganate is a versatile purple coloured chemical compound. It is a potassium salt of manganic acid. Also known as the permanganate of potash, it has many other names such as chameleon mineral, Condy’s crystals and hyper Mangan. Potassium permanganate was produced for the first time by German chemist Johann Rudolf Glauber in 1659 but was soon forgotten. It has oxidising properties, so it has found varied use in the medical and chemical industry. Its chemical formula is KMnO4 .This compound is water-soluble and consists of two ions: Permanganate ion and potassium ion. It is a dark purple odourless solid in its physical state. Potassium permanganate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula KMnO4. It is a purplish-black crystalline salt, that dissolves in water as K+ and MnO−4an intensely pink to purple solution
When potassium permanganate crystals are dissolved in water the solution formed is purple. It is considered as a strong oxidizing agent and does not produce toxic by-products. It is usually prepared from other minerals such as manganese oxide.

Applications:
Potassium permanganate is used in qualitative analysis to determine the permanganate value
KMnO4 is also used as a regeneration chemical in well water treatment for the removal of hydrogen sulphide and iron
This compound is also used as a disinfectant to cure certain skin conditions like foot fungal infections, dermatitis
Another important application of potassium permanganate is in the treatment of bacterial infections
KMnO4 is also known to be used in tanning leathers, printing fabrics
This compound can even be used as a bleaching agent, as a pesticide, and as an antiseptic
One of the most important industrial applications of potassium permanganate is as an oxidizing agent in the chemical synthesis of many important compounds.
When mixed with 80% hydrogen sulphide it acts as a propellant for rockets and torpedoes.
It can also help to remove rust from water pipes.
It can be used to remove snails from plants before being transferred to an aquarium
