21. One of his important discoveries was the helpful effect of potassium permanganate to treat snake bites. 22. However, potassium permanganate is reduced to by acidic. 23. It involves the detection of oxidation by potassium permanganate in an acid medium under hot conditions. 24. Alternatively oxidation of manganese sulfate with potassium permanganate yields the so-called chemical manganese dioxide ( CMD ). 25. The biggest difference between the two chemicals is that potassium permanganate is less soluble than sodium permanganate. 26. A solution of 1 % potassium permanganate dissolved in hot water is an alternative to antifungal drugs. 27. For instance, potassium permanganate decomposes at 230 �C to potassium manganate and manganese dioxide, releasing oxygen gas: 28. Sodium permanganate behaves similarly to potassium permanganate . 29. Potassium permanganate is a crystalline solid that is typically dissolved in water before application to the contaminated site.30. Boukari has testified that he went to pharmacies in Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Cologne and Berlin to buy potassium permanganate .
