Ammonium permanganate

Ammonium permanganate is the chemical compound NH4MnO4, or NH3·HMnO4. It is soluble in water. It is a strong oxidizer, owing to its permanganate anion, and it is a moderately strong explosive, owing to the combination of oxidizer permanganate anion and reducing ammonium cation. Dry ammonium permanganate can detonate by heat, shock, or friction, and it may explode at temperatures above 140 °F (60 °C). Ammonium permanganate decomposes explosively to manganese dioxide, nitrogen, and water: 2 NH4MnO4 → 2 MnO2 + N2 + 4 H2O
