Pyrolusite is the main ore of manganese in which it is present as Its Mn content is determined by reducing it under acidic condition to Mn^(2+) with the help of oxalate (C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)) ion which in turn gets oxidized to CO_(2) The analytical determination is carried out by adding a known excess volume of (C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)) solution to a suspension of the pyrolusite and digesting the mixture on a hot water bath until all the MnO_(2) has been reduced. The excess unreacted oxalate solution is then titrated with standardized KMnO_(4) solution. Thereby Mn content of ore can be calculated. KMnO_(4) solution is also standardized under acidic condition against oxalate ion wherein MnO_(4)^(-) ion is reduced to Mn^(2+) and (C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)) ion is oxidized to CO_(2) Q of pyrolusite ore were treated with of pure ferrous ammonium sulphate FeSO_(4).(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)6h_(2)O) and dil.
