Decolourisation of acidified permaganat...

Decolourisation of acidified permaganate in fast by Mohr's salt , but is solw by oxalate . Expalin .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Oxalate , `-OOC - COO^(-)` , on oxidation gives `CO_(2)`. It is involves breaking of C-C bond , which required energy . Hence decolourisation of `MnO_(4)^(-)` by `C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)` is slow . On the other hard Mohr.s salt is a complex salt containing `Fe^(2+)` ions .
