Question

Chemical equation of citric acid reacts with potassium permanganate with word equation.

Answer 1

Dear student,
Citric acid turns potassium permanganate from purple to colourless because it is a reducing agent.
KMnO4 will oxidise citric acid to CO₂ and H₂O and itself will turn into almost colorless Mn²⁺ (in acidic environment), or into brown MnO₂ precipitate.
In words we can say that addition of citric acid to potassium permanganate decolorises the purple solution yielding Manganese(II) ions, carbon dioxide and water.
The chemical reaction is given by:
${\mathrm{MnO}}_4^{-}+{\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_8{\mathrm{O}}_7\to {\mathrm{CO}}_2+{\mathrm{Mn}}^{2+}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$
Regards.
