Question

**(A):** The equivalent weight of $FeC_2O_4$ is $M/3$ when it reacts with $KMnO_4$ in acidic medium. <br> **(R):** $Fe^{2+}$ is oxidized to $Fe^{3+}$ and $C_2O_4^{2-}$ is oxidized to $CO_2$.

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

**Assertion:** Total electrons lost = 1 (from $Fe$) + 2 (from oxalate) = 3. Eq. Wt. = $M/3$. [6], [17] <br>**Reason:** Both the cation and the anion undergo oxidation in this specific reaction. [17]
