What happens when a drop of glycerol is added to crush KMnO₄ sprcad on a paper?

There is a crackling sound

There is no reaction

The paper ignites

There is a violent explosion

Explanation:

When solid Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) is mixed with pure glycerol or other simple alcohols, it will result in a violent combustion reaction. Potassium Permanganate is an extremely powerful oxidizer which spontaneously ignites after coming in contact with glycerol. The glycerol is oxidized so quickly that heat is generated faster than it can be dissipated.
