Question

Why is HCl not used to acidify a permanganate solution in volumetric estimation of Fe2+ or C2O4^2-

Answer 1

KMnO4 is a very strong oxidizing agent and it can oxidize HCl to liberate chlorine gas, therefore HCl cannot be used to acidify potassium permanganate solution in volumetric analysis.
