Caution: Wear eye protection and disposable gloves when handling alkalis, even if they are diluted. Handle the various chemicals with care. Potassium permanganate can stain skin and is an irritant at high concentrations.
Do you think that only one chemical reaction took place? Give a reason for your answer.
