When `KMnO_(4)` is reduced with oxalic acid in acidic solution, the oxidation number of `Mn` changes from

A

`7` to `4`

B

`7` to `2`

C

`6` to `4`

D

`4` to `2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`5overset(COOH)underset(COOH)|+overset(+7)(2KMnO_(4))+3H_(2)SO_(4) rarr K_(2)SO_(4)+overset(+2)(2MnSO_(4))+10CO_(2)+8H_(2)O`
In this reaction oxidation state of `Mn` change from `+7` to `+2`.
