(j) Why was solution KA 4 added to solution KA 1 before the
titration?
KA 4 solution was added to KA 1 solution to acidify the aqueous
potassium manganate(VII) so that it can act as an oxidising agent.
Conclusion : The mass of sodium ethanediote used to prepare a solution
containing sodium ethanediote and hydrated ethanedioic acid is
2.998 g.
