Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{5}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The reaction between potassium permanganate and ferrous oxalate is: \(3 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+5 \mathrm{FeC}_2 \mathrm{O}_4+24 \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}+5 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+} +10 \mathrm{CO}_2+12 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) \(1 \mathrm{~mol}\) of…
