Oxalic acid is oxidised by permanganate ion in acid medium of `Mn^(2+)` balance the reaction by ion-electron method.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Adding `16OH^(-)` both sides
`2MnO_(4)^(-)+5C_(2)O_(4)^(-2)+16H^(+)+16OH^(-)to2Mn^(+2)+10CO_(2)+8H_(2)O+16OH^(-)`
`2MnO_(4)^(-)+5C_(2)O_(4)^(-2)+16H_(2)Oto2Mn^(+2)+10CO_(2)+8H_(2)O+16OH^(-)`
`2MnO_(4)^(-)+5C_(2)O_(4)^(-2)+8H_(2)Oto2Mn^(+2)+10CO_(2)+16OH^(-)` (Basic)
