JEE Chemistry Practice Question

To measure the quantity of $\mathrm{MnCl}_{2}$ dissolved in an aqueous solution, it was completely converted to $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ using the reaction, $\mathrm{MnCl}_{2}+\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{8}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{KMnO}_{4}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+\mathrm{HCl}$ (equation not balanced). Few drops of concentrated $\mathrm{HCl}$ were added to this solution and gently warmed. Further, oxalic acid (225 mg) was added in portions till the colour of the permanganate ion disappeared. The quantity of $\mathrm{MnCl}_{2}$ (in $\mathrm{mg}$ ) present in the initial solution is (Atomic weights in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}: \mathrm{Mn}=55, \mathrm{Cl}=35.5$ )
