(a) What would be oberved on adding a 5% alkaline potassium permanganate solution drop by drop to some warm thanol in a test tube? Wrote the name of the compound formed during the chemical reation Also write chemical equation of the reaction which takes place. (b) How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcholhol and a carboxylic acid on the basis of a chemical property?

(i) Take about 3 mL, of ethanol is a rest tube and warm it gently in a water bath. (ii) Add a 5% solution of alkaline potassium permanganate drop by drop to the solution. (iii) What happens to the colour of KMnO_(4) added initially and then in excess? Give reason. Name the product of this reaction.

When ethanol is heated with alkaline potassium permanganate solution it gets converted in to ethanoic acid. In this reaction , alkaline potassium permanganate acts as:

In the titration between oxalic acid and acidified potassium permanganate ,the manganous salt formed during the reaction and catalysis the reaction .The manganous salts acts as :
