SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
500 mg/cu m Manganese compounds and fume (as Mn)
Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic gases and irritating fumes. The substance is a strong oxidant. It reacts with combustible and reducing materials. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Reacts violently with powdered metals. This generates fire hazard.
Chemical stability
Stable in air and light; soln are unstable
Possibility of hazardous reactions
MODERATE, BY CHEMICAL REACTION.POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE is a very powerful oxidizing agent, particularly in acidic surroundings. Reacts with incandescence with aluminum carbide [Mellor 5:872. 1946-47]. Grinding with antimony or arsenic causes ignition of the metals [Mellor 12:322. 1946-47]. Mixtures with acetic acid or acetic anhydride may explode if not kept cold [Von Schwartz 1918. p. 34]. Explosions can occur when acidified solutions come in contact with benzene, carbon disulfide, diethyl ether, ethyl alcohol, petroleum, or organic matter. Contact with glycerol may produce an explosion [Pieters 1957. p. 30]. Contact with concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution can produce an explosion [Haz. Chem. Data 1973. p. 230]. Contact with solid hydroxylamine produces an immediate white flame [Mellor 8:294. 1946-47]. Transport through a polypropylene tube ignited the tube [MCA Case History 1842. 1972]. Mixing with concentrated sulfuric acid in a vessel containing moisture caused an explosion (due to formation of manganese heptoxide) [Delhez 1967].
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Caution: take great care in handling as explosions may occur if it is brought into contact with org or other readily oxidizable substances, either in soln or in dry state.
Hazardous decomposition products
Decomp at about 240 deg c with evolution of oxygen; decomp by alcohol & many other org solvents, also by concn acids with liberation of oxygen; with hydrochloric acid, chlorine liberated; readily decomp by many reducing substances, such as ferrous salts, iodides, oxalates, etc, esp in presence of an acid
