ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to present a thorough comparison of the physicochemical characteristics of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and potassium iodide (KI) in deionized water (DD water) at various temperatures. The study highlights how temperature affects the characteristics of these solutions and investigates their possible uses in industrial and medicinal settings. Evaluation of the KI and KMnO4 solutions’ density, viscosity, and solubility in deionized water is among the factors that go into their physicochemical characterization. Measurements are carried out at different temperatures to capture the temperature‐dependent behavior of these mixes and get insight into their application under various environmental situations. Within the medical field, studies look into how well these solutions work for certain uses, such as wound care, antifungal therapies, etc. Their potential in medication delivery systems and pharmaceutical formulations is also investigated. The study examines these solutions’ industrial uses in analytical chemistry, chemical production, and water treatment. The findings of this study further our knowledge of the kinetics and thermodynamics of KI and KMnO4 solutions in deionized water. Comparative assessments help to choose appropriate applications in the industrial and medical arenas by illuminating the distinctive characteristics of each solution. Ultrasonic velocity will be measured in KI and KMnO4 mixed with DD water by using an ultrasonic interferometer, and all the other acoustical parameters will also be evaluated. The obtained results will be discussed in detail.
