instance_of potassium hypomanganate
Potassium ___MASK77___ is an inorganic ___MASK97___ and medication . As a medication it is used for cleaning wounds and dermatitis . Potassium hypomanganate , K3MnO4 , also known as potassium manganate ( V ) , is a bright blue ___MASK42___ and a rare example of a manganese ( V ) compound . It is formed : by the reduction of potassium permanganate with excess potassium sulfite ; MnO  Potassium manganate is the ___MASK93___ with the formula KMnO . This green - colored salt is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of potassium permanganate ( KMnO ), a common chemical . Occasionally , potassium manganate and potassium " per " manganate are confused , but they are different compounds with distinctly different properties . A ___MASK77___ is the general ___MASK49___ for a ___MASK97___ containing the manganate ( VII ) ion ,. Because manganese is in the + 7 oxidation state , the ___MASK77___ ( VII ) ion is a strong oxidizing agent . The ion has tetrahedral geometry . Permanganate solutions are purple in color and are stable in neutral or slightly alkaline media . The exact chemical reaction is dependent upon the organic contaminants present and the oxidant utilized . For example , trichloroethene ( CHCl ) is oxidized by sodium ___MASK77___ to form carbon dioxide ( CO ), manganese dioxide ( MnO ), sodium ions ( Na ), hydronium ions ( H ), and chloride ions ( Cl ). An ___MASK93___ is a ___MASK97___ that is not an organic compound . There is no clear or universally agreed - upon distinction between organic and inorganic compounds , but common definitions focus on the presence or absence of carbon ( or certain kinds of carbon bonds ) or the source from which the compound is derived . Inorganic compounds are traditionally viewed as being synthesized by the agency of geological systems . In contrast , organic compounds are found in biological systems . Organic chemists traditionally refer to any molecule containing carbon as an organic compound and by default this means that inorganic chemistry deals with molecules lacking carbon . As many minerals are of biological origin , biologists may distinguish organic from inorganic compounds in a different way that does not hinge on the presence of a carbon atom . Pools of organic matter , for example , that have been metabolically incorporated into living tissues persist in decomposing tissues , but as molecules become oxidized into the open environment , such as atmospheric CO , this creates a separate pool of inorganic compounds . The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry , an agency widely recognized for defining chemical terms , does not offer definitions of inorganic or organic compounds . Hence , the definition for an inorganic versus an organic compound in a multidisciplinary context spans the division between organic life living ( or animate ) and inorganic non - living ( or inanimate ) matter .
