Q.
0.3 g of an oxalate salt was dissolved in 100 mL solution. The solution required 90 mL of N/20KMnO4 for complete oxidation. The % of oxalate ion in salt is:
Meq. of KMnO4 = M eq. of C2O4−2 90×21=100×NC2O4−2
Mmole of oxalate =2×29=49
Weight of oxalate =49×88×10−3=22×9×10−3 =198×10−3 %C2O4−2×100=66%
