Oxalic acid is oxidized to carbon dioxide in this reaction and the permanganate ion is reduced to the Mn2+ ion. ... Thus, the MnO4- ion acts as an oxidizing agent in this reaction. Oxalic acid, on the other hand, is a reducing agent in this reaction. By giving up electrons, it reduces the MnO4- ion to Mn2+.
