For example, the tracer method is used in the study of isotopie exchange reactions, structural chemistry, self-diffusion, chemical kinetics, and analytical chemistry. The high success of the tracer smthod is due to the fact that in all but the li^test elements, the radioactive isotopes behave, within limits of the experimental error, the same as the non-radioactive isotopes in chemical and pt^sical prooesses. Also the highly efficient radiation detectors available make possible the estimation of very small amounts of radioactive material, as low as 10"^^ grams in some instances*^ Using multi-channel analysers, the various components of mixtures of radioactive isotopes often can be identified* The Problem and I ts H istory The main problem under consideration is the isotopic exchange reaction between manganous ion and permanganate ion. A literature survey revealed only three researches which dealt with the above reaction. In each the experimenter used radioactive manganous ion as the tracer. The Mn**-KnO^ exchange reaction was first studied by U. J, Polissar,^ in 1956. The results of his experiments show negligible exchange between ^ah l and Bonner, Radioactivity Applied to Chemistry, New York, John IflLley & Sons, Inc. (1961). ^Polissar, U. J*, J. Am. Cham.

The solutions used In the experiments contained rarlous amounts of low concent ret ions of potassium permanganate (usually about 0 . 02M). perchloric sold and manganous sulfate. The reaction mas stopped by adding sodium hydroxide to the solution mhlch rapidly precipitated most or all of the manganese which was present in the intermediate oxidation states. Polissar also worked on other exchange reactions, for example, manganic oxalate com­ plex ion and UnO^ 1 on exchange and the exchange between the oxalate complex i on with Mn** ion. (Other isotopie exchange reactions were studied in addition to the above but only the Mn -MnO^ exchange will be discussed h e re .) It sit ou Id be noted here that the addition of smnganous ions to a solution containing permanganate ions produces a precipitate composed mainly of manganese dioxide* The time of appearance of this precipitate in the solution depends on the acid concentration.

  • Manufacturing of Potassium Permanganate Kmno4  This Is the Most Important and Well Known Salt of Permanganic Acid
    Manufacturing of Potassium Permanganate KMnO4 This is the most important and well known salt of permanganic acid. It is prepared from the pyrolusite ore. It is prepared by fusing pyrolusite ore either with KOH or K2CO3 in presence of atmospheric oxygen or any other oxidising agent such as KNO3. The mass turns green with the formation of potassium manganate, K2MnO4. 2MnO2 + 4KOH + O2 →2K2MnO4 + 2H2O 2MnO2 + 2K2CO3 + O2 →2K2MnO4 + 2CO2 The fused mass is extracted with water. The solution is now treated with a current of chlorine or ozone or carbon dioxide to convert manganate into permanganate. 2K2MnO4 + Cl2 → 2KMnO4 + 2KCl 2K2MnO4 + H2O + O3 → 2KMnO4 + 2KOH + O2 3K2MnO4 + 2CO2 → 2KMnO4 + MnO2 + 2K2CO3 Now-a-days, the conversion is done electrolytically. It is electrolysed between iron cathode and nickel anode. Dilute alkali solution is taken in the cathodic compartment and potassium manganate solution is taken in the anodic compartment. Both the compartments are separated by a diaphragm. On passing current, the oxygen evolved at anode oxidises manganate into permanganate. At anode: 2K2MnO4 + H2O + O → 2KMnO4 + 2KOH 2- - - MnO4 → MnO4 + e + - At cathode: 2H + 2e → H2 Properties: It is purple coloured crystalline compound. It is fairly soluble in water. When heated alone or with an alkali, it decomposes evolving oxygen. 2KMnO4 → K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2 4KMnO4 + 4KOH → 4K2MnO4 + 2H2O + O2 On treatment with conc. H2SO4, it forms manganese heptoxide via permanganyl sulphate which decomposes explosively on heating. 2KMnO4+3H2SO4 → 2KHSO4 + (MnO3)2SO4 + 2H2O (MnO3)2SO4 + H2O → Mn2O7 + H2SO4 Mn2O7 → 2MnO2 + 3/2O2 Potassium permanganate is a powerful oxidising agent. A mixture of sulphur, charcoal and KMnO4 forms an explosive powder.

Another way that we can determine if a redox reaction has happened is by using oxidation states or numbers (see AS revision guide pages 2 and 44). You need to know that: - • oxidation is loss of electrons • reduction is gain of electrons • an oxidising agent is a species that accepts electrons, thereby helping oxidation. It becomes reduced itself in the process. • a reducing agent is a species that donates electrons, thereby helping reduction. It becomes oxidised itself in the process. You also should remember these rules for assigning oxidation numbers in a compound: - 1 All elements have an oxidation number of zero (including diatomic molecules like H2) 2 Hydrogen is 1 unless it’s with a Group 1 metal, then it’s -1 3 Oxygen is -2 (unless it’s a peroxide when it’s -1, or reacted with fluorine, when it’s +2).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Phase transfer catalysis reactions are reactions where the reactants are soluble in different solvents. The phase transfer catalyst facilitates the transfer of a reactant from one phase to another, hence enabling the reaction. This can be explained electrochemically: By partitioning between the phases, the catalyst establishes a potential difference across the interface, which drives the transfer of reagent into the other phase (usually an inorganic anion is being transferred into the organic phase), or controls the reaction at the interface. A similar potential difference can also be applied with electrochemical instrumentation and the reactions can be investigated in electrochemical systems. Electrochemistry at ITIES (Interface between Two Immiscible Electrolyte Solutions) provides a fast, convenient and simple way of investigating the electrochemistry of a synthetic phase transfer reaction. The organic syntheses were also carried out to confirm the electrochemical results.

Kinetic, mechanistic and spectral investigation of ruthenium (III)- catalysed oxidation of atenolol by alkaline permanganate (stopped-flow technique) RAHAMATALLA M MULLA, GURUBASAVARAJ C HIREMATH and SHARANAPPA T NANDIBEWOOR* PG Department of Studies in Chemistry, Karnatak University, Dharwad 580 003, India e-mail: [email protected] MS received 10 October 2003; revised 26 December 2003 Abstract. Kinetics of ruthenium (III) catalyzed oxidation of atenolol by permanganate in alkaline medium at constant ionic strength of 0×30 mol dm3 has been studied spectrophotometrically using a rapid kinetic accessory. Reaction between permanganate and atenolol in alkaline medium exhibits 1 : 8 stoichiometry (atenolol : KMnO4). The reaction shows first-order dependence on [permanganate] and [ruthenium (III)] and apparently less than unit order on both atenolol and alkali concentrations. Reaction rate decreases with increase in ionic strength and increases with decreasing dielectric constant of the medium. Initial addition of reaction products does not affect the rate significantly. A mechanism involving the formation of a complex between catalyst and substrate has been proposed. The active species of ruthenium (III) is 2+ understood as [Ru(H2O)5OH] . The reaction constants involved in the different steps of mechanism are calculated. Activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism are computed and dis- cussed and thermodynamic quantities are also calculated. Keywords.

NANDIBEWOOR* P.G. Department of Studies in Chemistry, Karnatak University, Dharwad-580003, India. Received 7 October 2004; Accepted 14 December 2004 Abstract The kinetics of ruthenium(III) catalysed oxidation of L-Proline by permanganate in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength has been studied spectrophotometrically using a rapid kinetic accessory. The reaction between permanganate and L-Proline in alkaline medium exhibits 2:1 stoichiometry (KMnO4: L-Proline). The reaction shows first order dependence on [permanganate] and [ruthenium(III)] and apparent less than unit order dependence each in L-Proline and alkali concentrations. Reaction rate increases with increase in ionic strength and decrease in solvent polarity of the medium. Initial addition of reaction products did not affect the rate significantly. A mechanism involving the formation of a complex between catalyst and substrate has been proposed. The activation parameters were computed with respect to the slow step of the mechanism and discussed. Key words: Kinetics; Potassium permanganate Ruthenium; Oxidation; L-proline Introduction Potassium permanganate is widely used as an oxidising agent in synthetic as well as in analytical chemistry and also as a disinfectant. The reactions with permanganate are governed by pH of the medium. Among six oxidation states of manganese from 2+ to 7+, permanganate, Mn(VII) is the most potent oxidation state in acid as well as in alkaline medium.

  • Chapter-17 Antimicrobials
    CHAPTER-17 ANTIMICROBIALS Hydrogen peroxide Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen-oxygen single bond). It is also a strong oxidizer. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid, slightly more viscous than water. In dilute solution, it appears colorless. Due to its oxidizing properties, hydrogen peroxide is often used as a bleach or cleaning agent. The oxidizing capacity of hydrogen peroxide is so strong that it is considered a highly reactive oxygen species. Hydrogen peroxide is therefore used as a propellant in rocketry. Organisms also naturally produce hydrogen peroxide as a by-product of oxidative metabolism. Consequently, nearly all living things (specifically, all obligate and facultative aerobes) possess enzymes known as catalase peroxidases, which harmlessly and catalytically decompose low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Reactions Manganese dioxide decomposing a very dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide Hydrogen peroxide decomposes (disproportionates) exothermically into water and oxygen gas spontaneously: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 Redox reactions In acidic solutions, H2O2 is one of the most powerful oxidizers known—stronger than chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and potassium permanganate. Also, through catalysis, H2O2 can be converted into hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which are highly reactive. Therapeutic use Hydrogen peroxide is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as an antimicrobial agent, an oxidizing agent and for other purposes by the U.S. FDA. For example, 35% hydrogen peroxide is used to prevent infection transmission in the hospital environment, and hydrogen peroxide vapor is registered with the US EPA as a sporicidal sterilant. It is a common misconception that hydrogen peroxide is a disinfectant or antiseptic for treating wounds.
