Please,I am a level 300 university student.I am working on a titration of oxalic acid with potassium permanganate
⇦ this on
eBay or
Amazon [affil links] in my chemistry practical course and want to know why normal filter paper is not used in filtration of the KMnO4 after it has being boiled. This is a question I am to answer.
