Yes, those are my two questions, and I have another one for you, where could I find more information on the H2O2?

Oh, on a side note, it's my first post here so, wohoo for me. And pardon my English, I still have problems with the more...complicated words like oxidation (if it's really how is it supposed to be spelled).

Your questions are so vague they are next to impossible to answer. Every oxidizing agent with high enough potential will oxidize Fe2+/Fe3+.

In what context do you expect KMnO4 to be so special?

As for the H2O2 - library first, wiki/google second, ask on forums third!

1) Ok, should thank you.
2) Why is it used in so many proove that....reactions, I bet I've seen a lot more of it than any other compound.
3) My library sadly doesn't have anything helpful, but didn't think about wiki though.
