Answer:

KMnO4 is pink in a solution without oxidizing reagents. ... When potassium permanganate reacts with ethanol, it releases nascent oxygen. ie, an atom of oxygen thus converting the ethanol to acetic acid. Initially colour disappears because coloured permanganate ions of potassium permanganate are consumed to oxidise ethanol.
