Solution
The correct options are B53 moles of FeC2O4 can be oxidized C2.5 moles of H2C2O4 can be oxidized D5 moles of FeSO4 can be oxidized The balanced reaction is as follows: MnO−4+8H++5Fe+2→Mn2++5Fe3++4H2O 5 moles of FeSO4 can be oxidized by one mole of KMnO4. 2KMnO4+5H2C2O4+3H2SO4→2MnSO4+10CO2+8H2O 2.5 moles of H2C2O4 can be oxidized by one mole of KMnO4. 10FeC2O4+6KMnO4+24H2SO4→3K2SO4+6MnSO4+5Fe2(SO4)3+24H2O+20CO2. Hence, 53 moles of FeC2O4 can be oxidized by one mole.
