Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the oxalic acid vs KMnO ₄ (in the presence of dil H ₂ SO ₄ ) titration the solution needs to be heated initially to 60^ C , but no heating is required in Ferrous ammonium sulphate (FAS) vs KMnO ₄ titration (in the presence of dil H ₂ SO ₄ ) Statement II: In oxalic acid vs KMnO ₄ titration, the initial formation of MnSO ₄ takes place at high temperature, which then acts
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- DStatement I is true but Statement II is false
Correct answer
B. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Step-by-step solution
Heating is required in oxalic acid filtration due to High activation energy. Heating is not required in FAS vs KMnO ₄ titration because Fe ²⁺ will get converted into Fe ³⁺ by oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the experiment. Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct.
