Question:

A solution of permanganate is standardized by titration with oxalic acid ({eq}\text{H}_{2} \text{C}_{2} \text{O}_{4} {/eq}). It required 28.97 mL of the permanganate solution to react completely with 0.1058 g of oxalic acid. The unbalanced equation for the reaction is

{eq}\text{MnO}_{4} \text{ }^{-} (aq) + \text{H}_{2} \text{C}_{2} \text{O}_{4}(aq) \ \displaystyle\stackrel{Acidic}{\longrightarrow} \ \text{Mn}^{2+}(aq) + \text{CO}_{2}(g) {/eq}

What is the molarity of the permanganate solution?

Equivalence Point

The equivalence point in a titration analysis indicates the chemical equivalence between reactants according to the balanced chemical equation. The numerical coefficients in the balanced chemical equation serve as the stoichiometric ratio at the equivalence point.

Consider the balanced equation for the reaction:

{eq}\rm 5C_2O_4^{2-} + 2MnO_4^- + 16H^+ \to 10CO_2 + 2Mn^{2+} + 8H_2O {/eq}

Based on the balanced...
