Question

In oxidation of oxalic acid by KMnO4, the colour of KMnO4 disappears slowly at the start of reaction but disappears very fast afterwards. This is an example of (A) induced catalysis (B) auto-catalysis (C) negative catalysis (D) enzyme catalysis.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In the oxidation of oxalic acid by KMnO4, the colour of KMnO4 disappears slowly in the beginning but disappears faster after sometime due to the formation of Mn2+ ions which act as auto-catalyst for the reaction.

Q. In oxidation of oxalic acid by KMn $O_{4}$ , the colour of KMn $O_{4}$ disappears slowly at the start of reaction but disappears very fast afterwards. This is an example of

induced catalysis

auto-catalysis

negative catalysis

enzyme catalysis.

In the oxidation of oxalic acid by KMn $O_{4},$ the colour of KMn $O_{4}$ disappears slowly in the beginning but disappears faster after sometime due to the formation of $M n^{2 +}$ ions which act as auto-catalyst for the reaction.

Q. In oxidation of oxalic acid by KMnO4​, the colour of KMnO4​ disappears slowly at the start of reaction but disappears very fast afterwards. This is an example of
