Question

In lab we are doing chemical kinetics. We started off with 0.7550 Mof Oxalic acid and then added water and 0.1300 M of Permanganate.For the first trial, 5 mL of Oxalic acid was used, then 6 mL ofwater were added and then 1 mL of Permanganate were added. Thesecond trial was 10 mL Oxalic, 1 mL water, and 1 mL Permanganate.The third 5 mL; 5 mL; 2 mL. The point of this experiment is to findthe rate order of the reaction. I know this is a dilution problemand I must find the initial and finals concentrations in order toifnd the rate order. I am just confused on how to find the correctinitial and final concentrations. I know that permanganate is thelimiting reagent and I know that I must use m1v1=m2v2 but I am notsure if tht solves for the final concentration or initial. Thefinal volumes for all three trials is 12 mL. If anyone can pleaseexplain to me how to find the correct number of moles of oxalicacid that was derived initially I will rate ASAP. Thank you!
