Question
**Chemical Reaction and Limiting Reagent Problem**

**Reaction:**  
Carbon dioxide is produced in the following reaction:

\[ 5 \, \text{H}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 \,(\text{aq}) + 2 \, \text{KMnO}_4 \,(\text{aq}) + 3 \, \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \,(\text{aq}) \rightarrow 10 \, \text{CO}_2 \,(\text{g}) + 2 \, \text{MnSO}_4 \,(\text{aq}) + \text{K}_2\text{SO}_4 \,(\text{aq}) + 8 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \,(\text{l}) \]

**Question:**  
What is the limiting reagent when 4.28 g of \(\text{H}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4\) reacts with 2.38 g of \(\text{KMnO}_4\) in the presence of excess \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\)?

**Options:**

- \(\text{MnSO}_4\)
- \(\text{KMnO}_4\)
- \(\text{H}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4\)
- \(\text{K}_2\text{SO}_4\)
- \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\)
