Sodium manganate - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sodium manganate is a chemical compound. Its chemical formula is Na₂MnO₄. It contains sodium and manganate ions. It is a bright green solid. It cannot be made by reacting manganese dioxide with sodium hydroxide, like potassium manganate is made. It is made by reacting hot sodium hydroxide with sodium permanganate. This releases oxygen and makes sodium manganate. It is more expensive than potassium manganate because it is harder to make.

• Manganese(II) oxide
• Manganese(VII) oxide
• Potassium permanganate
