Solution
The correct option is A1.4ppm Given:
1000L of air is dissolved at Standard Temperature Pressure into Water and then requires 2.5 x 10−5 moles of KMnO4 for complete reaction of SO2 which is dissolved in Water.
Solution:
Eqn 1:
SO2 + H2O→H2SO3
Eqn2:
2MnO−4+2H2SO−3→5H2SO−4+2Mn2+
It implies 2 moles of MnO4 requires 5 moles of SO2.
Therefore, 2.5 x 10−3 moles of KMnO4 requires = 52 x 2.5 x 10−3 moles of SO2 = 6.25 x 10−3 moles
At STP, 6.25 x 10−3 moles = 6.25 x 22.4 x 10−3 =1.4 x 10−3L
