Oxalic acid is generally warmed slightly because it is not completely soluble and heat helps this. It aids in accuracy of the titration.
we know the concentration of standardization solution .eg (oxalic acid , mgso4 much more )but wo donot know the concetration of titration solution eg (kmno4 ,EDTA )
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.
as kmno4 acts as a strong reducing agent only in acid medium
Because KMnO4 is an internal indicator.. No need to have any indicator.. it has distinctly different colour when it is reduced
consider the balance chemical equation, suppose the reaction with oxalic acid 2MnO4- + 16H+ + 5C2O4 --> 2Mn+2 + 8H2O + 10CO2 Above reaction shows that the reaction requires a number of protons to occur, H2SO4 is the source of these protons.

As we all know that the potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is the dark purple color solution ...and in titration it become colorless ....so when the titration is completed ...and the other single drop of KMnO4 solution produce pinkish colour in a beaker ...which indicate that the reaction was completed just a single drop before .. we use indicator in a a reaction in order to indicate ...but we dont used indicator in titration with KMnO4 because it also indicate us by changing its color ...colorless to pink
we add sulpheric acid with oxalic acid to stable the ions when titrated against KMNO4

FeCl2 + 2KMnO4 --> Fe(MnO4)2 + 2KCl
Nitric acid, being a strong oxidising agent, interferes with oxidising capacity of KMnO4 hence reducing accuracy of titration.
It is probably because a part of the oxygen produced from the reaction of KmnO4 and HCl is used up in oxidising the HCl to Cl2 gas
Formula weight of KMnO4 is 158.04. The equivalent weight depends on the reaction involved. In acidic media it is (formula weight) /5, in neutral although this is more difficult to control it is the formula weight. Knowing which type it is usually acidic as it is easier, you will need 158.04/5 X 0.2 = 6.32g. Sulfuric acid is usually added in the titration to ensure the correct oxidation reaction is carried out. Also note KMnO4 is not considered a primary standard so you should really filter the solution to remove any MnO2 caused by oxidation of organic impurites in the water you are using, and standardise the solution by titration against say oxalic acid.
