Solution

The correct options are
B 53 moles of FeC2O4 can be oxidized
C 2.5 moles of H2C2O4 can be oxidized
D 5 moles of FeSO4 can be oxidized
The balanced reaction is as follows:
MnO4+8H++5Fe+2Mn2++5Fe3++4H2O
5 moles of FeSO4 can be oxidized by one mole of KMnO4.
2KMnO4+5H2C2O4+3H2SO42MnSO4+10CO2+8H2O
2.5 moles of H2C2O4 can be oxidized by one mole of KMnO4.
10FeC2O4+6KMnO4+24H2SO43K2SO4+6MnSO4+5Fe2(SO4)3+24H2O+20CO2.
Hence, 53 moles of FeC2O4 can be oxidized by one mole.
