Oxidising agent is the chemical which itself undergoes reduction reaction and forces other to accept electrons or to form bond with oxygen i.e to get oxidised. ... When an oxidising agent is added to propanol then an oxidation reaction takes place and propanoic acid is formed as a product.

We can use Alkaline kMnO4 or acidified
K2Cr2O7 as an oxidising agent as it adds up an oxygen atom to the acids.
It's chemical equation can be written as :-
C3H8O + Alkaline kMnO4 or acidified K2Cr2O7 = C3H6OH
