Oxidation of Glycerin Chemistry Demonstration Kit

The Oxidation of Glycerin Demonstration Kit illustrates the rapid oxidation reaction between glycerin and potassium permanganate. When a small amount of potassium permanganate is placed in a petri dish and glycerin is added, smoke and violet flames appear after a few seconds as the exothermic reaction initiates. This visually striking demonstration helps students understand oxidation reactions, energy transfer, exothermic processes, and reaction kinetics. The kit includes 30g potassium permanganate and 25mL glycerin. It aligns with NGSS standards covering energy, reaction rates, and chemical structure concepts. For laboratory, educational, and instructional use only.
