Solution
The correct option is
A
4.1 mL
The given reaction is,
The oxidation of oxalate ions to carbon dioxide involves 2 electrons.

and
C
O

is 3.
So, n- factor of

In acidic solution, 1 mole of
K
M
n
O
4
involves 5 moles of electrons.
So, n- factor of
K
M
n
O
4
=
5
Thus, 3 moles of
K
M
n
O
4
will oxidize 5 moles of ferrous oxalate.
The molar mass of ferrous oxalate is 143.91 g/mol.
