Starting a Fire with Potassium Permanganate

Potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) is a deep purple, crystalline compound known for its powerful oxidizing properties. In survival situations or controlled demonstrations, KMnO₄ can be used to start a fire when combined with a suitable organic fuel—most commonly glycerin (glycerol) or even sugar. However, despite its intriguing ability to produce flames, the reaction is highly exothermic […]
