Potassium permanganate solutions used in oxidation-reduction titrations are often standardized against sodium oxalate, Na₂C₂O₄, used as a primary standard. The reaction involved is 5C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + 2MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16 H⁺(aq) → 2Mn²⁺(aq) + 8H₂O(l) + 10CO₂(g) A 0.2452 g sample of sodium oxalate is dissolved in 100 mL of acid solution, and the permanganate solution is added slowly from a buret. The endpoint is reached when 15.85 mL of the permanganate solution has been added. The molar mass of sodium oxalate is 134.00 g/mol. Calculate [MnO₄⁻], the molar concentration of the permanganate solution.

Potassium permanganate solutions used in oxidation-reduction titrations are often standardized against sodium oxalate, Na₂C₂O₄, used as a primary standard. The reaction involved is

5C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + 2MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16 H⁺(aq) → 2Mn²⁺(aq) + 8H₂O(l) + 10CO₂(g)

A 0.2452 g sample of sodium oxalate is dissolved in 100 mL of acid solution, and the permanganate solution is added slowly from a buret. The endpoint is reached when 15.85 mL of the permanganate solution has been added. The molar mass of sodium oxalate is 134.00 g/mol. Calculate [MnO₄⁻], the molar concentration of the permanganate solution.
