Q.

Given below are two statements :
Statement I : In oxalic acid vs KMnO4 (in the presence of dil H2SO4) titration, the solution needs to be heated initially to 60°C, but no heating is required in Ferrous ammonium sulphate (FAS) vs
KMnO4titration (in the presence of dil H2SO4)
Statement II : In oxalic acid vs KMnO4 titration, the initial formation of MnSO4 takes place at high temperature, which then acts as a catalyst for further reaction. In the case of FAS vs KMnO4, heating oxidizes Fe2+ into Fe3+ by oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the experiment.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Detailed Solution

 2MnO4+5(COO)22+16H+10CO2+2Mn2++8H2O
This reaction is slow at room temperature, but becomes fast at 60°C. Manganese(II) ions catalyze the reaction; thus, the reaction is autocatalytic;
once manganese(II) ions are formed, it becomes faster and faster.

The titration of FAS v/s KMnO4 do not require heating because at higher temeprature the oxidation of Fe+2 to Fe+3 by atmospheric O2 will be prominent.
