Chemical Chameleon Reaction: Potassium Permanganate and Sugar

🧪 The video demonstrates the chemical chameleon reaction, a redox reaction using potassium permanganate as an oxidant and sugar as a reductor.

🔬 The reaction takes place in a basic medium created by adding sodium hydroxide to water, and the solution turns purple.

🧪 Safety precautions, such as wearing protective goggles and gloves, are necessary when conducting the reaction.

⚗️ In the presence of a reducing agent, potassium permanganate is reduced to potassium manganate and then to manganese dioxide.

🌈 The color of the potassium permanganate changes from intense violet to green and then to yellowish brown.
