Question

Reaction between citric acid and potassium permanganate solution

Answer 1

Potassium permanganate reacts with citric acid

So citric acid is oxidised in this reaction. ... The reaction with KMnO4 will be a brute force oxidation, in acidic solution resulting CO2, H2O, and Mn+2 ion

Answer 2
