The magnetic moment of autocatalyst formed in the reaction between acidified oxalic acid and potassium permanganate

2MnO4-+5C2O4-2+16H+→2Mn+2+10CO2+8H2OIn this reaction ;  the rate of reaction slow initially but it increases in few minutesafter the formation of  Mn+2 which acts like a catalyst.Reactions in which the intermediate (or) product formed it self acts like a catalyst are examples ofAuto catalysis and the product (or) intermediate acting like a catalyst is called auto catalystMn+2 - [Ar] 3d5n=5 ; magnetic moment, Î¼s=n(n+2)    =5(5+2) =5.9BM.
