5. An organic chemist needs to quantitatively oxidize an unsaturated compound into a diol. The reaction uses potassium permanganate, the formula for the unsaturated compound is C17H2604, the solution is acidic and the formula for the product is C17H24O6. If his/her sample weighed 1.506 grams and required 39.75 ml of a standardized KMnO4 solution, what was the molarity of the KMnO4 solution?
