Hydrated ethanedioic acid is a diprotic acid with the formula (COOH)2•xH2O where x is an integer. Ethanedioic acid reacts with manganate(VII) ions when heated. 5(COOH)2(aq) + 2MnO4¯(aq) + 6H+(aq) → 10CO2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) + 8H2O(l) You will determine the value of x in (COOH)2•xH2O by titrating a solution containing ethanedioic acid with manganate(VII) ions. • FA 1 is 6.20 g dm⁻³ aqueous ethanedioic acid, (COOH)2•xH2O. • FA 2 is 0.0200 mol dm⁻³ potassium manganate(VII), KMnO4. • FA 3 is 1.0 mol dm⁻³ sulfuric acid, H2SO4·
