Solution
The correct option is D 31.68 mL K2C2O4.3H2C2O4.4H2O;nf=8 as each of the 8 carbon atoms in the molecule undergo a +1 change in oxidation state. nf of permangante ion is 5 as manganese gets reduced from +7 oxidation state to +2 oxidation state. Equivalents of oxalate = Equivalents ofKMnO4 1molecular weight×8=V×0.1×5
Molecular mass of Potassium acid oxalate = 508 g/mol ⇒V=8508×0.1×5=0.03168L ⇒V=31.68ml
