Solution

The correct option is C FeSO4
5FeC2O4+3KMnO4Acidic5Fe3++10CO2+3Mn2+

5 moles FeC2O4 requires 3 moles KMnO4

1 mole FeC2O4 willl require 35 moles KMnO4


5Fe(NO2)2+5KMnO4Acidic5Fe3++10NO3+5Mn2+

5 moles Fe(NO2)2 requires 5 moles KMnO4

1 mole Fe(NO2)2 willl require 1 moles KMnO4


5FeSO4+1KMnO4Acidic5Fe3++Mn2+

5 moles FeSO4 requires 1 moles KMnO4

1 mole FeSO4 willl require 15 moles KMnO4


5FeSO3+3KMnO4Acidic5Fe3++5SO24+3Mn2+

5 moles FeSO3 requires 3 moles KMnO4

1 mole FeSO3 willl require 35 moles KMnO4

FeSO4 will required least amount of KMnO4 per mole (15)

Hence, option C is correct.
