What is Permanganic acid?
[[File:Permanganic-acid-3D-balls.png|right|140px]] '''Permanganic acid''' is an [[acid]]. It has the formula [[Hydrogen|H]][[Permanganate|MnO<sub>4</sub>]]. It is the acid form of the [[permanganate]] ion. It is often made by reacting dilute [[sulfuric acid]] with a permanganate, such as[[potassium permanganate]]. It is not usually a good idea to use concentrated acid because the extra acid may react with the new permanganic acid to create [[manganese heptoxide]], an explosive chemical. [[Category:Acids]]
