Q.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: In the oxalic acid vs. KMnO4 (in the presence of dilute H2SO4) titration, the solution needs to be heated initially to 60oC, but no heating is required in Ferrous ammonium sulphate (FAS) vs.KMnO4 titration (in the presence of dilute H2SO4).

Statement II: In oxalic acid vs.KMnO4 titration, the initial formation of MnSO4 takes place at high temperature, which then acts as a catalyst for further reaction. In the case of FAS vs.KMnO4, heating oxidizes Fe2+ into Fe3- by oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the experiment.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:                 [2025]

1 Statement I is false but Statement II is true  
2 Both Statement I and Statement II are true  
3 Statement I is true but Statement II is false  
4 Both Statement I and Statement II are false
