Common filter paper must not be used for filtration of boiled potassium permanganate solution

February 4, 2009

Hello, I am Joshua, a chemistry student of university of Ghana.

Please,I am a level 300 university student.I am working on a titration of oxalic acid with potassium permanganate ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] in my chemistry practical course and want to know why normal filter paper is not used in filtration of the KMnO4 after it has being boiled. This is a question I am to answer.
thanks

Because it is cellulose and permanganate is a strong oxidizer.
