Barium permanganate is a chemical compound, with the formula Ba(MnO4)2. [2]
Preparation
Barium permanganate may be produced by disproportionation of barium manganate in a mildly acidic solution,[3] 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.[3]
Reactions
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:[3]
- Ba(MnO4)2 + H2SO4 → 2 HMnO4 + BaSO4
The sulfuric acid used must be dilute; reactions of permanganates with concentrated sulfuric acid yield the anhydride, manganese heptoxide.
