5 C12H22O11 (aq) + 48 KMnO4 (aq) + 72 H2SO4 (aq) → 48 MnSO4 (aq) + 24 K2SO4 (aq) + 60 CO2 (g) + 127 H2O (l)
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
48 MnVII + 240 e- → 48 MnII (reduction)
60 C0 - 240 e- → 60 CIV (oxidation)
KMnO4 is an oxidizing agent, C12H22O11 is a reducing agent.
This is a gas evolution reaction, CO2 is the formed gas.
