`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 oxidized by `KMnO_4` to `Cl_2`

C

`H_2 SO_4` is a dibasic acid

D

rate is faster in the presence of `H_2SO_4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
