When KMnO4 solution is added to hot oxalic acid solution, the decolorization is slow in the beginning but becomes instantaneous after some time. This is because : 

  • Mn2+ acts as auto catalyst.

  • CO2 is formed.

  • MnO4- catalyses the reaction.

 The incorrect statement among the following is:

  • MnO2 dissolves in conc. HCl, but does not form Mn4+ ions.

  • MnO2 oxidizes hot concentrated H2SO4 liberating oxygen.

  • K2MnO4 is formed when MnO2 infused KOH is oxidized by air, KNO3, PbO2 or NaBiO3

  • The decomposition of acidic KMnO4 is not catalyzed by sunlight.
