`KMnO_(4)` is a strong oxidising agent in acidic medium. To provide acidic medium `H_(2)SO_(4)` is used instead of HCl. This is because

A

`H_(2)SO_(4)` is a stronger acid than HCl

B

`HCl` is oxidised by `KMnO_(4)` to `Cl_(2)`

C

`H_(2)SO_(4)` is a dibasic acid

D

rate is faster in the presence of `H_(2)SO_(4)`

Text Solution
