What happens if you add potassium permanganate to formic acid (1 tube) and what will be the reaction if you add the same KMnO4 to acetic acid?
1) 5HCOOH + 3H2SO4 + 2KMnO4 = 2MnSO4 + K2SO4 + 8H2O + 5CO2
2) 3CH3COOH + 8KMn04 = 4H2O + 4KHCO3 + 2K2CO3 + 8MnO2
These reactions are oxidation reactions with potassium permanganate to release carbon dioxide and decolorize the solution.
