Almost perfect. But I think it made a triol- 3 OH groups. Two when the double bond broke and one on the side.
well i mentioned all of this. i think you have to mention about formation of equilibrium in this reaction too.

Methanoic acid, or formic acid, is a compound with an unusual structure. Looked at one way, formic acid looks like a carboxylic acid, but looked at in another way it looks like an aldehyde.

H--C--O--H From the C atom look to the left and you will see the aldehyde.

Because aldehydes are oxidized by permanganate your solution will turn colorless. It should also produce some CO2 in the process. THIS is why I asked the question dude.
