Question

An example of auto-catalytic reaction

• A. Oxidation of oxalic acid by acidified $KMn{O}_4$
• B. Thermal decomposition of $KCl{O}_3$ in presence of $Mn{O}_2$
• C. Hydrogenatin of oils in presence of nickle
• D. Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide in presence of Ferric chloride

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Oxidation of oxalic acid by acidified $KMn{O}_4$

The reactions in which one of the product catalyze the reaction is called auto catalysis

In the Oxidation of oxalic acid by acidified $KMn{O}_4,M{n}^{+2}$ (one of the product) catalyze the reaction.
