    \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]reacts with oxalic acid according to the equation \[2MnO_{4}^{-}+5{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{2-}+16{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2M{{n}^{2+}}\]\[+10C{{O}_{2}}+8{{H}_{2}}O\] Here, 20 mL of\[0.1\text{ }M\text{ }KMn{{O}_{4}}\]is equivalent to:

    A)  \[20\,mL\,of0.5M\,{{H}_{2}}{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)  \[50\,mL\,of\,0.1\,M\,{{H}_{2}}{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[50\,mL\,of\,0.01\,M\,{{H}_{2}}{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    D)  \[20\,mL\,of\,0.1\,M\,{{H}_{2}}{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[2MnO_{4}^{-}+5{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{2-}+16{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}2M{{n}^{2+}}\] \[+10C{{O}_{2}}+8{{H}_{2}}O\] L of \[0.1\text{ }M\,KMn{{O}_{4}}=20\times 0.1=2\,mmol\] \[\because \] 2 mmol of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}=5\text{ }mmol\text{ }of\text{ }{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{2-}\] 50 mL of \[0.1\text{ }M\text{ }{{H}_{2}}{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}=50\times 0.1=5\text{ }mmol\] Hence, 20 mL of \[0.1\text{ }M\text{ }KMn{{O}_{4}}\] \[\equiv \,50\,mL\,of0.1\,M\,{{H}_{2}}{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]
