Potassium permanganate on reaction with oxalic acid in acidic medium gives salts of Potassium and Manganese along with water molecules and carbon dioxide gas. Give the complete and balanced equation.
Answer
Answer
Official answer keyEquation: $2\mathrm{KMnO_{4}} + 3\mathrm{H_{2}SO_{4}} + 5\mathrm{(COOH)_{2}} \longrightarrow \mathrm{K_{2}SO_{4}} + 2\mathrm{MnSO_{4}} + 8\mathrm{H_{2}O} + 10\mathrm{CO_{2}}$
$\mathrm{2KMnO_4+3H_2SO_4+5(COOH)_2\rightarrow K_2SO_4+2MnSO_4+8H_2O+10CO_2}$
