Why is dilute sulphuric acid used to acidify a permanganate solution in volumetric analysis and not hydrochloric acid?
  1. HCl acts as an oxidising agent and KMnO4 as a reducing agent.
  2. Oxygen produced from KMnO4 is used up to oxidise HCl to Cl2.
  3. KMnO4 is decolourised in presence of HCl.
  4. The oxidation becomes very fast in presence of two oxidising agents.

Answer

(B) Oxygen produced from KMnO 4 is used up to oxidise HCl to Cl 2 .
