Answer to Question #2573 in Physical Chemistry for Amy

Question

I have a lab experiment where I mix a sample of unknown K[sub]2[/sub]C[sub]2[/sub]O[sub]4[/sub] with 25mL of H[sub]2[/sub]SO[sub]4[/sub] and 25mL of H[sub]2[/sub]O before titrating it with KMnO[sub]4[/sub]. My question is, if the sample of unknown K[sub]2[/sub]C[sub]2[/sub]O[sub]4[/sub] composition was not mixed well before the titration, how would this effect my results?
