Amount of oxalic acid present in a solution can be determined by its titration with KMnO4 solution in the presence of H2SO4. The titration gives unsatisfactory result when carried out in the presence of HCl, because HCl
  1. reduces permanganate to manganate
  2. furnishes H+ ions in addition to those from oxalic acd
  3. reduces permanganate to Mn2+
  4. oxidises oxalic acid to carbon dioxide and water

Answer

(C) reduces permanganate to Mn 2+
