Explain why does colour of `KMnO_(4)` disappear when oxalic acids is added to its solution in acidic medium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`KMnO_(4)` oxidizes oxalic acid to `CO_(2)`and half is reduced to `Mn^(2+)` which is colourless.
`underset("(Coloured)")(2MnO_(4)^(-)) + 16H^(+) + 5C_(2) O_(4)^(2-) rarr underset("(Colourless)")(2Mn^(2+))+ 8 H_(2)O + 10 CO_(2)`
