Problem

The balanced overall reaction below occurs in acidic solution.

2\,\mathrm{MnO_4^-} + 5\,\mathrm{C_2O_4^{2-}} + 16\,H^+ \rightarrow 2\,\mathrm{Mn^{2+}} + 10\,\mathrm{CO_2} + 8\,H_2O

Calculate the number of electrons transferred per formula unit of

\mathrm{C_2O_4^{2-}}

consumed in this reaction.
