Oxalic acid is an organic covalent compound not very much soluble in water during its titration with an oxidizing agent as KMnO4 its decomposition is required into CO and CO2 along with removal of water, sulphuric acid makes this process possible.

Why would you add sulfuric acid to a mixture of oxalic acid and sodium oxalate?

This is an example of a buffer solution. if the sulfuric acid were added to a plain glass of water, it would have a massive change in pH. However, the buffer action of the oxalate-oxalic acid solution will decrease this change to something very minor (demonstrably to only hundredths or thousands, if the solution is made well, of the change it would have on pure water).


How do you prepare saturated oxalic acid?

To prepare saturated oxalic acid solution, simply add oxalic acid powder to water in a container and stir until no more dissolves. This will result in a saturated solution where the water has dissolved as much oxalic acid as it can at that temperature. It's important to wear appropriate protective gear when handling oxalic acid as it can be harmful if not handled properly.


What happens when you add universal indicator to sulfuric acid?

It turns the universal indicator to scale 1


How to prepare nitrate test solution using diphenylamine in sulphuric acid?

To prepare a nitrate test solution using diphenylamine in sulfuric acid, you can mix diphenylamine with concentrated sulfuric acid in a specific ratio. Typically, a 0.1% diphenylamine solution in concentrated sulfuric acid is used for nitrate testing. Follow safety precautions when working with concentrated sulfuric acid as it is corrosive.


How do you make a neutral solution ACIDIC?

To make a neutral solution acidic, you can add an acid like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. This will increase the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the solution, lowering the pH and making it acidic.

How do you prepare standard solution of oxalic acid?

Oxalic acid (M.W.= 90 g/mol) is available in the lab as oxalic acid dihydrate crystals (M.W. = 126 g/mol). A standard solution of Oxalic acid or ethandioic acid can be used as a standard solution to standardise other alkali solutions because oxalic acid crystals are non-hygroscopic in nature. To prepare a 1 liter 1N solution of oxalic acid, follow these steps: 1. Carefully weigh 0.5 mol or 63 g of oxalic acid dihydrate crystals. This is because th n-factor of oxalic acid is 2 and so 1 mole of oxalic acid = 2 equivalents of oxalic acid. 2. Wash the 1 litre volumetric flask first with tap water (thrice), then with chromic acid solution (once but thoroughly) and finally with distilled water so as to remove any contaminants from the glassware. 3. Pour the crystals in the volumetric flask and add some distilled water. Shake the mix to dissolve the crystals in the solvent. 4. Make-up the volume to 1-litre by adding more distilled water.

What volume in mLs of 0.100 M sodium hydroxide solution must be added to 20.0 mL of 0.08 M sulfuric acid solution to reach the end point?

To neutralize the sulfuric acid completely, you need a 1:2 molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to sulfuric acid. Therefore, you would need to add twice the amount of sodium hydroxide compared to the amount of sulfuric acid, which is 40.0 mL of the sodium hydroxide solution.


How do you prepare 7M sulfuric acid from concentrated sulfuric acid?

To prepare 7M sulfuric acid from concentrated sulfuric acid, first calculate the volume of concentrated sulfuric acid needed to make 7M solution. Then, measure the calculated volume of concentrated sulfuric acid and carefully dilute it with water to the desired volume while stirring continuously. Make sure to add acid to water slowly to prevent splashing or generation of heat.


What color change is there when you add black copper oxide to sulfuric acid?

When you add black copper oxide to sulfuric acid, the solution turns blue because copper sulfate was formed and it is a colored compound.


Can you add mild sulfuric acid and distilled water solution to batteries instead of just distilled water?

yes
