Pyrolusite is the main ore of manganese in which it is present asIts 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 If a student prepared a standard solution of Na_(2)C_(2)O_(4) by dissolving 3.2 g of dry anhydrous salt into distilled water and making the solution upto 500 mL. The Normality of oxalate solution is
