what happens when ethanoic acid react with alkaline kMnO4 on heating. Give the equation​

Answer 1

Explanation: Alkaline potassium permanganate is an oxidizing agent due to nascent oxygen which adds oxygen or removes hydrogen and thus oxidizes ethanol to ethanoic acid. Adding alkaline permanganate to ethanol, the pink colour of potassium permanganate vanishes, as it is being used up for the oxidation process.

Explanation:

Alkaline KMnO4 is a very good oxidising agent.
