Potassium Permanganate: THE Most PURPLE possible. (And it really wants to destroy you)

[@DestructiveCreativity]

Yay Chemistry! What dangerous chemicals have you had the opportunity to use? (Share your stories below!)

[@shaunawilkinson8292]

Very informative! I once had bright pink water coming from my taps in Onoway AB thanks to this chemical.

[@DestructiveCreativity]

I remember hearing about that! They deemed it safe for consumption but advised not to drink, I believe.

[@shaunawilkinson8292]

​@@DestructiveCreativity The official word at that time was that it was completely safe and that it was never a health risk.

The name and the color really makes me think of pomegranate juice haha. Really love the chemistry videos! Very interesting topics and well explained.

[@DestructiveCreativity]

Believe me, you are not alone! Pomegranate is the first thing in my mind as well. :) Thanks for stopping by.

[@GodsWordMadeSimple]

Great video, excellent as always and wow quite the reaction for such a small amount of material, thanks for sharing!

[@DestructiveCreativity]

Thanks my friend. :)

[@megannea.1247]

That is so cool! Love the purple color, I was actually a little disappointed that the fire wasn't purple. 😆 Great video!

[@DestructiveCreativity]

We will have to make purple flames at some point. :)

[@monarchatto6095]

It is slightly lilac though due to the potassium.

[@royalecrafts6252]

will this permanganate create a purple patina on copper when brushed? or when applying hot?

[@krishrajput4131]

From where we can get it¿

[@DestructiveCreativity]

Sadly, it isn't easy to buy, but it is simple to make if you have some Manganese metal.

Why do we see green when it's purple? Haha, drink a 2 liter bottle of grape soda and call me after you sit on the toilet the next day.

[@mgw96]

That looks like a delicious purple drink. Is it grape flavoured?

[@DestructiveCreativity]

Sadly, this belongs to the "forbidden coolaid" of flavors.
