Why in the redox titration of `KMnO_(4)` vs oxalic acid, we heat oxalic acid solution before starting the titration?

Answer» The reaction is very slow at room temperature. By raising the temperature, the reaction rate increases. Normally in the reaction, `KMnO_(4)` acidified with dilute `H_(2)SO_(4)` reacts with oxalic acid at a temperature of about `50^(@)`C.
