Reaction Prediction help
« on: October 03, 2007, 02:30:26 AM »
Hello, I'm in AP Chemistry right now and my teacher gave our class reaction prediction worksheets for the last 5 days now...and...I have no idea what to do -0-

The instruction on the packet says: Write formulas for the reactants and predicted products for the chemical reactions that follow. Assume that in all cases a reaction occurs. The equation does not need to be balanced. Descriptive symbols do not need to be included. Write all substances in their proper form-as ions if apporpriate-and cancel any spectator ions. Assume that the reactions  are in aqueous solution unless otherwise stated.

I'm having a particular problem with this question,

Potassium permanganate solution is added to a solution of oxalic acid acidified with a few drops of sulfuric acid.

I got up to 

KMnO4+HC2O2(?)+HSO4-> ??

PLEASE HELP ME FIND THE PRODUCT!!

Your formula for oxalic acid is wrong. Check it in your book, in wikipedia or Google it.
