Permanganate vs Dichromate - What's the difference?
permanganate | dichromate |
(inorganic chemistry) any salt of permanganic acid, they are purple crystalline solids, mostly soluble in water; they are strong oxidizing agents
(inorganic chemistry) potassium permanganate
(chemistry) any salt of dichromic acid; in solution the orange dichromate anion (Cr2O72-) is in equilibrium with the yellow chromate anion (CrO42-), the relative amount of each ion depending on the pH; they are both very powerful oxidizing agents
