When ethanol is heated in the presence of alkaline `KMnO_4`, it gets converted into ethanoic acid according to the reaction equation given below,
`underset("Ethanol")(CH_3-CH_2OH) overset("Alkaline "KMnO_4)underset("Heat")to underset("Ethanoic acid")(CH_3COOH)`
In this reaction, oxygen has been added to ethanol and hydrogen is removed. Therefore, it is an oxidation reaction.
