Concentrated sulfuric acid reacts with Potassium permanganate to produce manganese VII oxide (commonly called manganese heptoxide), Mn2O7.
Mn2O7 is a very strong oxidizer and will rapidly react with most organic compounds even at room temperature.
In this case the reaction is able to produce light and sound even without contact with oxygen gas.
2MnO4- + 5H2O2 + 6H+ → 2Mn2+ + 5O2 + 8H2O Permanganate is added to H2SO4 + H2O2 and is reduced because it is a better oxidising agent that H2O2 the purple MnO4 ion is used up and the solution fades almost to clear if the mix is right
Ethanol (CH3CH2OHl) + KMnO4 ----> Ethanal (CH3CHO) -----> Ethanoic Acid (CH3COOH) Primary Alcohol Oxidized ---> Aldehyde Oxidized---> Carboxyilic Acid You could attain Ethanal by using the oxidizing agent Pyridinium Chlorochromate (PCC) anhydrously.
Because a primary alcohol oxidation is a two step process. First going to an aldehyde then to a carboxylic acid. A secondary alcohol is a one step process that produces a ketone.
When potassium permanganate reacts with ethanol, it releases oxygen. ie, an atom of oxygen thus converting the ethanol to acetic acid. Initially colour disappears because coloured permanganate ions of potassium permanganate are consumed to oxidise ethanol. C 2 H 5 OH (WITH ALKALINE KMnO 4) CH 3 COOH+H 2 O Remember :When excess is added colour does not change because there is no more alcohol left and hence there is no reaction.
You can oxidize 1-pentanol using an oxidizing agent such as chromic acid or potassium permanganate to form pentanoic acid. This reaction typically requires heat and can be catalyzed by sulfuric acid. Purification techniques like distillation can help isolate the pentanoic acid product.
potassium permanganate is used for fumigation. In addition to it alcohol and dettol is also used

Tertiary alcohols are more reactive towards oxidation with potassium permanganate compared to secondary alcohols. This is because the presence of more alkyl groups in tertiary alcohols stabilizes the intermediate carbocation formed during oxidation.
estimation of alcohol content in fruit wines can be done by titrating fruit wine against potassium permanganate.
Cyclohexanol can be converted into cyclohexanone through an oxidation reaction. This is typically achieved using an oxidizing agent, such as chromium trioxide (CrO3) in sulfuric acid or potassium permanganate (KMnO4), which facilitates the conversion of the alcohol group (-OH) into a ketone group (C=O). The reaction involves the loss of two hydrogen atoms from the alcohol, resulting in the formation of cyclohexanone.
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.
1-Butanol is a primary alcohol (the OH group is attached to a carbon that is only attached to one other carbon) and is oxidised to butanal.2-Butanol is a secondary alcohol (the OH group is attached to a carbon that is attached to two other carbons) and is oxidised to butanone.2-methyl-2-propanol is a tertiary alcohol (the OH group is attached to a carbon that is attached to three other carbons) and this means it does not react with potassium permanganate as it can no longer undergo anymore oxidations. This is why it does not show a visible reaction with potassium permanganate.

Yes, alcohol such as ethanol is soluble in sulfuric acid. When mixed together, the alcohol will dissolve in the sulfuric acid to form a homogeneous solution. However, it is important to handle sulfuric acid with caution due to its corrosive nature.
