When KMnO4 solution is added to hot oxalic acid solution, the decolorization is slow in the beginning but becomes instantaneous after some time. This is because : 

1. Mn2+ acts as auto catalyst.

2. CO2 is formed.

3. Reaction is exothermic.

4. MnO4- catalyses the reaction.

Find the false statement among the following regarding manganese compounds.

1. MnO₂ dissolves in concentrated HCl, but does not form Mn⁴⁺ ions.
2. MnO₂ oxidises hot concentrated H₂SO₄, liberating oxygen.
3. K₂MnO₄ is formed when MnO₂ fused with KOH is oxidised by air, KNO₃, PbO₂, or NaBiO₃.
4. The decomposition of acidic KMnO₄ is not catalysed by sunlight.
