Solution
Potassium permanganate is prepared by fusion of MnO2 with an alkali metal hydroxide and an oxidising agent like KNO3. This produces the dark green K2MnO4, which disproportionates in a neutral or acidic solution to give permanganate.
\[\ce{2MnO2 + 4KOH + O2 -> 2K2MnO4 + 2H2O}\]
\[\ce{3MnO^{2-}_4 + 4H^+ -> 2MnO^-_4 + MnO2 + 2H2O}\]
The chemical reactions of acidic potassium permanganate are as follows:
\[\ce{MnO^-_4 + 8H^+ + 5Fe^2+ -> Mn^2+ + 4H2O + 5Fe^3+}\]
