(a) What is the percentage of MnO2 in a pyrolusite ore if a sample weighing 0.4000g is treated with 0.6000g of pure H2C2O4•2H2O and dilute H2SO4 and after reduction has taken place (MnO2 + H2C2O4 + 2H+ → Mn2+ + 2CO2 + 2H2O), the excess oxalic acid requires 26.26ml of 0.1000N KMnO4 for titration? (b) If pure As2O3 were used instead of oxalic acid, how many grams would be required in order for the other numerical data to remain the same?
