RE-NEET 2026 Chemistry Titration MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

In an acidic medium, 10 mL of 0.25 M oxalic acid is titrated with KMnO₄ solution. If the volume of KMnO₄ solution required to reach end point is 10 mL, the strength of the KMnO₄ solution is

A

0.20 M

B

0.25 M

C

0.15 M

D

0.10 M

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The reaction between oxalic acid and KMnO₄ in acidic medium is: 5C₂O₄²⁻ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ → 10CO₂ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O. Using the stoichiometry of the reaction, the molarity of KMnO₄ can be calculated as 0.20 M.
