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 ...

After one hour, equilibrium has been reached which means the potassium permanganate crystals are at an equal concentration throughout the water. Diffusion has stopped.

This process is sped up by a catalyst. In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate, and the bubbles are full of oxygen gas. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on its own into water and oxygen ...

Convection in a liquid Convection in a liquid can be seen by putting a crystal of potassium permanganate in a beaker of water and gently heating it with a Bunsen flame. Air current close to a ...
