KMnO4 will react with compounds having unsaturation (double bond or triple bond). Since alkenes have double bond, it will react with KMnO4 and decolourize dilute KMnO4 solution.
Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) reacts with alkenes through a process called oxidative cleavage. This reaction breaks the double bond in the alkene, resulting in the formation of diols or ketones, depending on the specific conditions of the reaction.
When ethanol reacts with excess acidified KMnO4, it is oxidized to form ethanoic acid. The purple color of KMnO4 is decolorized to colorless Mn2+ ions during the reaction.
Bromine reacts with an alkane to produce a colorless solution, due to the formation of a colorless alkyl halide. On the other hand, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) reacts with an alkane to form a brown precipitate of manganese dioxide.
A positive test for an alkene is the addition of bromine water, which will turn from orange/red to colorless when it reacts with the alkene due to halogenation of the double bond. This test is used to confirm the presence of alkenes.
When potassium permanganate (KMnO4) reacts with formaldehyde (HCHO), it undergoes oxidation-reduction reaction. The purple color of KMnO4 fades as it gets reduced to Mn2+ ions, while formaldehyde is oxidized to formic acid (HCOOH) or carbon dioxide and water. Heat may be evolved during the reaction.
The purple KMnO4 is decolourise

well this reaction its a test for distinction of unsaturated hydrocarbons from saturated ones.and when unsaturated hydrocarbons react with baeyer's reagent its pink colour disappears. What happens in this reaction is actually the KMnO4 reacts with alkali and releases K2MnO4+H2O+[O] The nascent oxygen along with water reacts with alkene giving off alkanediol.
It means that it tests positive for either aldehyde, alkene, or phenol functional groups.
Benzene does not react directly with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) under normal conditions. Benzene is a stable aromatic compound and does not undergo typical alkene or alkane reactions with oxidizing agents like KMnO4.
Add KMnO4 (Potassium Permanganate) which is a purple solution. If it is added to an alkene or alkyne it will turn colourless and produces a brown precipitate.
When ethanol reacts with excess acidified KMnO4, it is oxidized to form ethanoic acid. The purple color of KMnO4 is decolorized to colorless Mn2+ ions during the reaction.
Bromine reacts with an alkane to produce a colorless solution, due to the formation of a colorless alkyl halide. On the other hand, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) reacts with an alkane to form a brown precipitate of manganese dioxide.
The evolved gas is carbon dioxide (CO2).
A positive test for an alkene is the addition of bromine water, which will turn from orange/red to colorless when it reacts with the alkene due to halogenation of the double bond. This test is used to confirm the presence of alkenes.

Alkenes have a double bond between the carbon atoms (C=C) whereas alkanes have a single bond (C-C). so alkenes are unsaturated compounds, add aqueous solution of Bromine or KMnO4 to both the compounds the decolourization of these reagents confirms the presence of alkenes.
