Showing results for oxidation of glycerol by permanganate
Add 10 to 15 drops of glycerol to the depression in the center of a pile of finely ground potassium permanganate in an evaporating dish on a heat proof surface. Stand back! Within a few seconds, the glycerol will be violently oxidized by the permanganate producing smoke and violet flames.
