Why in the redox titration of vs oxalic acid, do we heat oxalic acid solution before starting the titration?
The reaction between permanganate and oxalate ions is very slow at room temperature. Heating increases the temperature, thereby increasing the rate of reaction (by providing activation energy) so the decolorization is visible during titration.
