Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction between potassium permanganate $(KMnO_4)$ and oxalic acid $(H_2C_2O_4)$ in the presence of sulfuric acid $(H_2SO_4)$ is given by: $2KMnO_4 + 3H_2SO_4 + 5H_2C_2O_4 \rightarrow K_2SO_4 + 2MnSO_4 + 8H_2O + 10CO_2$. In this reaction,$Mn^{2+}$ ions are produced as one of the products. These $Mn^{2+}$ ions increase the rate of the reaction,a phenomenon known as autocatalysis. Therefore,$Mn^{2+}$ acts as an autocatalyst.

List-$I$ (Reaction)	List-$II$ (Catalyst)
$A$. Hydrogenation of vegetable oils	$I$. $Ni$
$B$. Decomposition of potassium chlorate	$II$. $MnO_2$
$C$. Oxidation of $SO_2$ in lead chamber process	$III$. $Pt$
$D$. Oxidation of ammonia in Ostwald's process	$IV$. $NO_{(g)}$

In the reaction $KMnO_4 + H_2SO_4 + H_2C_2O_4$,the $Mn^{2+}$ ions act as:
