The purple color of the KMnO4 will change to a muddy brown.


Does the colour of potassium permanganate persist when it is added initialy to heated 3ml of ethanol?

When potassium permagnate is added initially to ethanol, ethanol gets oxidised into ethanoic acid using potassium permagnate. Thus, decolorizing potassium permagnate. When excess is added , the color of potassium permagnate persists.


Why the color of potassium perpanganate disappears if it is added to warm solution of ethanol?

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.

Why is there colour change in the reaction between oxalic acid and potassium permanganate?

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.
