Solution

The correct option is A 2MnO4+16H++5C2O242Mn2++8H2O+10CO2
Option (A) is correct.
Commercially potassium permanganate is prepared by the alkaline oxidative fusion of Pyrolusite ore (MnO2) followed by the electrolytic oxidation of manganate ion.

2MnO2+4KOH+O22K2MnO4+2H2O

MnO24(electrolyticoxidation)MnO4+e

Reaction of acidified permanganate solution with oxalic acid :

2MnO4+16H++5C2O242Mn2++8H2O+10CO2
