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. | |
