Solution
The correct option is AKMnO4 OXalic-acid vs KMnO4
Oxalic Acid -KMnO4 Titrations
Reaction: Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidant in presence of sulphuric acid so it can be used for the estimation of oxalic acid (oxalates). Oxalic acid reacts with the acidic KMnO4
2KMnO4+3H2SO4→K2SO4+2MnSO4+3H2O+5[O]
5(COOH)2+5[O]→5H2O+10CO2↑
Indicator Last drop of KMnO4 itself acts as an indicator.
