When KMnO₄ solution is added to hot oxalic acid solution, the decolorization is slow in the beginning but becomes instantaneous after some time. This is because : 
1. ${\mathrm{Mn}}^{2+}$ acts as auto catalyst.
2. ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is formed.
3. Reaction is exothermic.
4. ${\mathrm{MnO}}_4^{-}$ catalyses the reaction.

Which of the following statements is false? 

Pick out the incorrect statement:
1. ${\mathrm{MnO}}_4^{-}$ is quite strongly oxidizing and stable only in very strong alkalies. In dilute alkali, neutral solutions, it disproportionates.
2. In acidic solutions, ${\mathrm{MnO}}_4^{-}$ is reduced to ${\mathrm{Mn}}^{2+}$ and thus, ${\mathrm{KMnO}}_4$ is widely used as an oxidizing agent.
3. ${\mathrm{KMnO}}_4$ does not act as an oxidizing agent in alkaline medium
4. ${\mathrm{KMnO}}_4$ is manufactured by the fusion by pyrolusite with KOH in the presence of air or ${\mathrm{KNO}}_3$, followed by electrolytic oxidation in alkaline solution.
