Solution
The correct option is A2MnO−4+16H++5C2O2−4→2Mn2++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+O2⟶2K2MnO4+2H2O
MnO2−4(electrolyticoxidation)⟶MnO−4+e−
Reaction of acidified permanganate solution with oxalic acid :
