30 " mL of " a solution containing `9.15gL^(-1)` of an oxalate `K_(x)H_(y)(C_2O_4)_2.nH_2O` required for titration 27 " mL of " 0.12 N NaOH and 36 " mL of " 0.12 N `KMnO_4` for oxidation Find x,y,z. and n.

Answer» Normality of oxalate as an acid`=(27xx0.12)/(30)=0.108`
Ew of oxalate as acid
`=("strength")/(N)=(9.15)/(0.108)=84.72`
Normality of oxalate as reducing agent`=(36xx0.12)/(30)`
`=0.144`
Ew of oxalate as reducing agent`=(9.15)/(0.144)=63.54`
Oxalate as acid: `(Mw)/(y)=84.72`
Oxalate as reducing agent `(Mw)/(2z)=63.54`
`x+y=2z`
`y=15z`
`thereforex:y:z=1:3:2`
`therefore39xx1+3xx1+2xx88+18n=254`
`n=2`
Formula is `KH_3(C_2O_4).2H_2O`
