Answer:
We had a titration of oxalic acid vs. potassium permanganate for an experiment in which we used concentrated H2SO4.
Actually, the reaction requires an acidic medium i.e. H+ is involved as a reactant... I suppose the H+ released by the oxalic acid would be enough since you are studying the rate of the reaction though I am not sure.
The balanced ionic equation is: 2MnO4−+5H2C2O4+6H+⟶2Mn2++10CO2+8H2O
As you can see, H+ is involved as a reactant and that is why you might have read that conc.H2SO4 is necessary.
