In the reaction of KMnO ₄ with an oxalate in acidic medium, MnO ₄⁻ is reduced to Mn ²⁺ and C ₂ O ₄²⁻ is oxidised to CO ₂ . Hence, 50 ~mL of 0.02 M KMnO ₄ is equivalent to
Options
- A100 ~mL of 0.05 M H ₂ C ₂ O ₄
- B50 ~mL of 0.05 M H ₂ C ₂ O ₄
- C25 ~mL of 0.2 M H ₂ C ₂ O ₄
- D50 ~mL of 0.10 M H ₂ C ₂ O ₄
Correct answer
B. 50 ~mL of 0.05 M H ₂ C ₂ O ₄
Step-by-step solution
eg. of ( KMnO ₄ ) ( aligned &=5 0.02 50 &=250 0.02 &=509 . aligned ) eq. of ( KAnO ₄ eq ₁ ) of ( C ₂ O ₄ ₂- ) ( aligned 5= option 2 &=50 0.05 2 &=589 . aligned )
