"Reaction with what other substance? It needs something to react with." Yes, it depends with what it is reacting.....but permanganate is a oxidative reagent, so it could possible oxidate others reagents, like carbon double bonds or triple bonds....if it is acidic solution, it´s more oxidant....it can break bonds and oxidate organic compounds.....it

I think that the question is what happens when potassium permanganate (manganate VII) is heated.

potassium permanganate + heat= potassium oxide + oxygen
