Determine the weight percent of oxalic acid in the leaves


Oxalic acid reacts with the oxidizing agent KMnO4 according to the equation 2MnO4- (aq) + 5 H2C2O4 (aq) + 6H+ (aq) --> 2Mn2+ + 10 CO2 (g) + 8 H20 (l)

Assume a 15.67g sample of green leaves that contain oxalic acid needs 23.45 mL of 0.0250 M KMnO4 for titration to the equivalence point. Determine the weight percent of oxalic acid in the leaves?
