50 ec of oxalic acid is oxidised by 25 cc of \(0.20 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{KMnO}\). The mass of oxalic acid present in 500 ce of the solution is

  1. A \(3.15 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. B \(31.5 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. C \(6.3 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. D \(63 \mathrm{~g}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3.15 \mathrm{~g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equivalent moles of oxalic acid = Equivalent moles \(=N_{1} V_{1}=25 \times 0.2 \times 10^{-3}=5 \times 10^{-3}=0.005\) \(\frac{\text { Weight of oxalic acid }}{\text { Eq. weight of oxalic acid }}=0.005\) Weight of oxalic acid \(=0.05 \times 63=0.315 \mathrm{~g}\)…
