Dilute is not used to acidify a titration because:

  1. A is a weak acid and gives too few ions
  2. B precipitates as
  3. C reduces only to
  4. D oxidises to , consuming extra permanganate

Answer: D

Permanganate is a strong enough oxidant to oxidise chloride ion to chlorine. The extra permanganate used up gives a titre larger than that due to the analyte alone, so dilute is used.
