KMnO4+FeC2O4 +H+ Mn2++Fe3++ 2CO2

Now we can say that,

Here KMnO4 = 5 electrons change in oxidation state

ferrous oxalate in acidic solution = 3 electrons

while reaction exchange of electrons takes place..........so

3 moles of KMnO4 = 5 moles of FeC2O4

5 moles of FeC2O4 = 3 moles of KMnO4

so 1 mole of FeC2O4 = 3/5 moles of KMnO4

hence 3/5 moles of KMnO4 of KMnO4 will be needed to react completely with one mole of ferrous oxalate in acidic solution
