Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the oxalic acid vs (in the presence of dil ) titration the solution needs to be heated initially to , but no heating is required in Ferrous ammonium sulphate (FAS) vs titration (in the presence of dil ) Statement II: In oxalic acid vs titration, the initial formation of takes place at high temperature, which then acts as catalyst for further reaction. In the case of FAS vs , heating oxidizes into by oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the experiment. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
- AStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

Correct answer: C
-
Analyze Statement I
We compare two permanganate titrations in acidic medium:
- Oxalic acid vs. in dilute
- FAS () vs. in dilute
The relevant reactions are:
and
- The oxidation of oxalic acid/oxalate by permanganate is slow at room temperature.
- Hence, the oxalic acid titration is started warm, around .
- In contrast, oxidation of by permanganate is sufficiently fast at room temperature, so no initial heating is required.
Therefore, Statement I is true.
-
Analyze Statement II
- In oxalic acid vs. titration, the reaction is initially slow.
- As the reaction begins, is produced (present as in sulfuric acid medium).
- This acts as an autocatalyst, accelerating the reaction.
- Initial warming helps generate enough to start this catalytic cycle.
So the first part of Statement II is correct.
Now for FAS:
- On heating, can get oxidized by atmospheric oxygen to .
- This changes the amount of reductant actually available for titration and introduces error.
- Therefore FAS titration is not heated.
Hence, Statement II is also true.
-
Choose the correct option
Since both statements are true:
-
Compare with stored correct answer
- Derived answer: C
- Stored correct answer: C
They match.
