Solution

(1)
$(K M n O_{4})$ oxidises $o x a l i c a c i d$ to $c a r b o n d i o x i d e$
$2 M n O_{4}^{-} + 5 H_{2} C_{2} O_{4} + 6 H^{+} \to 2 M n^{2 +} + 10 C O_{2} + 8 H_{2} O$
(2)
$(K M n O_{4})$ oxidises
$h y d r o g e n p e r o x i d e$ to $w a t e r$
$2 M n O_{4}^{-} + 5 H_{2} O_{2} + 6 H^{+} \to 2 M n^{2 +} + 5 O_{2} + 8 H_{2} O$
