Question

The rate of oxidation of oxalic acid by acidified potassium permanganate is shown in the given graph. 5 H 2 C 2 O 4 + 2 K M n O 4 + 3 H 2 S O 4 → 2 M n S O 4 + K 2 S O 4 + 10 C O 2 + 8 H 2 O The type of catalyst shown by such reaction is, heterogeneous catalysis, induced catalysis, auto-catalysis, negative catalysis

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

In these reactions, one of the products formed ( M n S O 4 ) acts as auto catalyst and thus accelerate the rate of reaction.
