Describe how a positive result for the Baeyer Test will look. What is being oxidized? What is being reduced?

This reaction is sometimes referred to as the Baeyer test. Because potassium permanganate, which is purple, is reduced to manganese dioxide, which is a brown precipitate, any water‐soluble compound that produces this color change when added to cold potassium permanganate must possess double or triple bonds.

Explanation:

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
