chemical reaction, how to make a chemical "fog"

H2O2 à 20 volumes et poudre de permanganate de potassium.


This reaction is an oxydation of H2O2 by MnO4- AND a dismutation of H2O2 because of the heat...

This reaction produce oxygen AND steam ( because it's exothermic )

BUT, we can't see oxygen, it's a gas, it's invisible. Steam is a gas too, BUT condensing steam produce a visible "fog"...

where can i get potassium permanagate we dont have a chemical shop

@the911ization I had mine in an chemistry kit (For kids!), but such kits aren't sold anymore in my country. You can try to buy it on internet, but you can have trouble with legislation since Pot. Perm. is used in drug making. BUT I think you can use Manganese oxide, wich is more common.

i know this sounds stupid but what is the name of tool you are using to put the potassium permanganate in the beaker?

[Zone51]

@killerkyle2008 Spatula i think.

@JavAnarkoMet Yes, if i repeat this experiment hundreds of times, in a closet...

@862ocelot  Sorry but all gas are invisibles. What you see on the video is water steam, because the beaker became very hot. There is also Oxygen liberation, but you can't see it.

I pee on the side of the toilet to make less noise. LIKE IF YOU DO TOO.
