Question

2. Why heating is required in oxalic acid and potassium permanganate titration?​

Answer 1

Answer:  Heating is reqiured in titration of oxalic acid and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) because :

1. The reaction takes plae at certain temperature.

2. The reaction takes place extermly slow at room temperature

3. Before titration oxalic acid is heated at 60  to 70 degree centigrade.

4.As temperature increases number of molecules with more kinetic energy increases.

5.Its take long time to show self indicating titeration when not heated.

6.Molecules would have engery greater than activation energy level.
