    There will be produced 0.01 moles of CO2

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    volume of 0.20 M KMnO4 solution = 20 mL = 0.02 L

    Volume of 0.10 M Na2C2O4 solution = 50 mL = 0.05 L

    Step 2: The balanced equation

    2 MnO4 - (aq) + 5C2O4^2 - (aq) + 16 H + (aq) → 2 Mn^2 + (aq) + 10CO2 (g) + 8H2O (l)

    Step 3: Calculate moles of KMnO4

    moles KMnO4 = Molarity * volume

    moles KMnO4 = 0.20 M * 0.02 L

    moles KmnO4 = 0.004 moles

    Step 4: Calculate moles of Na2C2O4

    Moles Na2C2O4 = 0.10 M * 0.05 L

    Moles Na2C2O4 = 0.005 moles

    Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

    For 2 moles KMnO4 we need 5 moles Na2C2O4

    Na2C2O4 is the limiting reactant

    There will react 0.005 moles

    KMnO4 is in excess. There will react 0.005 / 2.5 = 0.002 moles

    Step 6: Calculate moles of CO2

    For 2 moles KMnO4 we need 5 moles Na2C2O4, there will be produced 10 moles of CO2

    For 0.005 moles of Na2C2O4 there will be produced 0.01 moles of CO2

    There will be produced 0.01 moles of CO2
