When acidified permanganate solution reacts with oxalic acid (H_{2}C_{2}O_{4}) it converts oxalic acid into carbon dioxide (CO_{2})
Here are the reactions:

\\MnO_{4}^{-}+8H^{+}+5e^{-}\rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_{2}O]\times 2\\ C_{2}O_{4}^{2-}\rightarrow 2CO_{2}+2e^{-}]\times 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2MnO_{4}^{2-}+5C_{2}O_{4}^{2-}+16H^{+}\rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}+10CO_{2}+8H_{2}O      overall reaction
