What happens when a drop of glycerol is added to crushed KMnO4 spread on a paper? (1) There is a crackling sound (2) There is a violent explosion (3) There is no reaction (4) The paper ignites
(2) There is a violent explosion Explanation: When solid Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) is mixed with pure glycerol or other simple alcohols, it will result in a violent combustion reaction. Potassium Permanganate is an extremely powerful oxidizer which spontaneously ignites after coming in contact with glycerol.
