Potassium permanganate is an oxidizer and alkanes have no functional groups that can be further oxidized (such as double bonds).
Exothermic
single displacement
Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) reacts with Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) to produce Manganese Heptoxide (MnO7), water (H20) and Potassium Hydrogen Sulphate (KHSO4)2. The reactive species produced is Manganese Heptoxide (which is a very powerful oxidiser). The Manganese Heptoxide will oxidise the Oxalic acid (COOH)2 to Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Potassium permanganate and hexane do not react because hexane is an alkane and therefore has no double bonds. Hexene on the other hand is an alkene and can indeed react with potassium permanganate.
No reaction.

nope
lol huh
This reaction is the following:2 KMnO4 + SO2 = 2 MnO2 + K2SO4
The dark purple color of permanganate fades because during the reaction permanganate is reduced to manganese cations and water. The other reactants and products are not strongly colored.
permanganate ion is an oxidising agent and is reduced.
The reaction between glycerol and potassium permanganate is irreversible because it involves a complete change in the molecular structure of the reactants. Glycerol, an alcohol compound, is oxidized by potassium permanganate, resulting in the formation of different products, such as carbon dioxide, water, and manganese dioxide. Once these new products are formed, it is difficult to reverse the reaction and reform the original reactants.
Potassium Permanganate will either add across a double bond,,,,,via a manganate ester intermediate to yield a syn diol........or if used under acidic conditions......warmed,,,,,,will oxidize primary alcohols to acids.....and secondary alcohols to ketones........by reaction with the OH group. The alkane lacks both these functional units,,,thus will be inert towards this reagent. Hope this helps. Dr Jim Romano CEO Orgoman.com...... CEO Romano Scientific New York
cyclopentene reaction with potassium permanganate. If cyclohexene gives a diacid (two acid groups in a opened ring), I think that is should yield a pentane with two acid groups, one in each end....it could give more products like CO2 and H2O, by breaking the bonds, you could get a lot of compounds, depending which bonds could break.....
