2KMnO4= K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O
hope this helps you...
plz mark it as a brainliest answer...
Potassium Permanganate when heated in air it decomposes. First it loses its oxygen and then decomposes to form potassium manganite, manganese oxide and oxygen.
The balanced equation is as follows:
Here, two molecules of Potassium Permanganate on being heated in air produces one molecule of Potassium Manganate, one molecule of Manganese Oxide and one oxygen molecule.
This reaction shows a change in colour from purple to green .
