The auto catalyst in the redox reaction involving acidified potassium permanganate and oxalic acid is
Options
- AMn ²⁺
- BSO ₄²⁻
- CCO ₂
- DH ₂ O
Correct answer
A. Mn ²⁺
Step-by-step solution
5 C ₂ O ₄ ²⁻+2 MnO ₄ ⁻+16 H ⁺ (Coloured) Mn ²⁺+8 H ₂ O +10 CO ₂ (Colourless) Formation of Mn ²⁺ ions, which is indicated by the decrease in the intensity of the colour of the solution, the rate of the reaction increases which was slow initially.
