Asked by Tukana

Why do we have to heat KMnO4 solution when we have to do the titration with the oxalate ions for such reaction?
Answered by DrBob222
Mostly its for the increase in reaction rate for the permanganate to oxidize the oxalate ion. Another reason could be, but it isn't a huge one, to help rid the solution of the CO2 oxidation product.
