$KMnO_4$ reacts with oxalic acid according to the equation:
$2MnO_4^- + 5C_2O_4^{2-} + 16H^+ \to 2Mn^{2+} + 10CO_2 + 8H_2O$
Here $20 \ mL$ of $0.1 \ M \ KMnO_4$ is equivalent to:

Which of the following is oxidised by $SO_2$?

$H_2S$ acts only as a reducing agent while $SO_2$ can act both as a reducing and oxidizing agent because

Consider the reactions:
$(a)$ $6 CO_{2(g)} + 6 H_{2}O_{(l)} \rightarrow C_{6}H_{12}O_{6(aq)} + 6 O_{2(g)}$
$(b)$ $O_{3(g)} + H_{2}O_{2(l)} \rightarrow H_{2}O_{(l)} + 2 O_{2(g)}$
Why is it more appropriate to write these reactions as:
$(a)$ $6 CO_{2(g)} + 12 H_{2}O_{(l)} \rightarrow C_{6}H_{12}O_{6(aq)} + 6 H_{2}O_{(l)} + 6 O_{2(g)}$
$(b)$ $O_{3(g)} + H_{2}O_{2(l)} \rightarrow H_{2}O_{(l)} + O_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)}$
Also,suggest a technique to investigate the path of the above $(a)$ and $(b)$ redox reactions.
