`KMnO_4` is prepared from the mineral pyrolusite, `MnO_2` (deep purple colour). It acts as an oxidising agent in the neutral, alkaline as well as acidic medium in acidic medium it is used in volumetric analysis for estimation of `Fe^(2+)`, `Cr_2O_4^(2-)` salts etc. The titrations are carried out in presence of `H_2SO_4`. However, before using it as a titrant, it is first standardised with standard oxalic acid solution or Mohr's salt solution . In one of the experiments on titration 26.8g of dry pure sodium oxalate `(Mw=123gmol^-1)` was dissolved in 1L of distilled water and then 100 mL of `2MH_2SO_4` were added. The solution was cooled. Now to this solution `0.1MKMnO_4` solution was added till a very faint pink colour persisted.
Q. When pyrolusite is fused with `KOH` and `KClO_3`, we get

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
