Name the gas that can readily decolourise acidified `KMnO_(4)` solution:

A

bicarbonate

B

carbonate

C

Oxalate

D

acetate

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Oxalate gives `CO and CO_(2)` with hot `H_(2)SO_(4)` and decolourises `KMnO_(4)`
`2KMnO_(4)+3H_(2)SO_(4)+5H_(2)C_(2)O_(4) rarr K_(2)SO_(4)+2MnSO_(4)+8H_(2)O +10 CO_(2)`
