Question

What are the precautions taken in the preparation of potassium permanganate?

Answer 1

Be careful if you wear white clothing because solutions are deep purple in color. ;-)

Also, avoid getting it in contact with strong acids such as H2SO4 or HCl. The former produces Mn2O7, which can be explosive and the latter will release chlorine gas. Otherwise, use the standard protocol when using it...goggles, gloves, and gown (labcoat)...
