FA 1is a solution containing 5.00 g dm–3 of hydrated ethanedioic acid, H2C2O4.xH2O.
FA 2 is a solution containing 2.37 g dm–3 of potassium manganate(VII), KMnO4.
You are also provided with 1.00moldm–3 sulphuric acid, H2SO4.
In the presence of acid, potassium manganate(VII) oxidises ethanedioic acid;
2(MnO4)– (aq) + 5H2C2O4(aq) + 6H+(aq) → 2Mn2+(aq) + 10CO2(g) + 8H2O(l)
You are to determine the value of x in H2C2O4.xH2O.
