Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Permanganic acid
EC Number:
236-695-4
EC Name:
Permanganic acid
Cas Number:
13465-41-3
Molecular formula:
HMnO4
IUPAC Name:
manganesoylol
impurity 1
Reference substance name:
Impurtiy permanganic acid
Molecular formula:
not available
IUPAC Name:
Impurtiy permanganic acid
Test material form:
liquid
Details on test material:
The permanganic acid is only stable in aqueous solution (3-5%) and the solution is placed on the market. Due to the production process only traces of K, P and S ions are to be expected as impurities.
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Due to the instability of the isolated permanganic acid, the study was conducted with an aqueous solution of permanganic acid (3.49 %). The permanganic acid is also manufactured and used in this concentration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The pH value of permanganic acid in an aqueous solution is 2.
Due to the strength of permanganic acid (pKs = -2.25) and the instability of isolated permanganic acid the pH value of the undiluted sample can only be calculated. The pH value of pure permanganic acid (calculated) is 1.
