Solution

The correct option is A 1.4ppm
Given:
1000L of air is dissolved at Standard Temperature Pressure into Water and then requires 2.5 x 105 moles of KMnO4 for complete reaction of SO2 which is dissolved in Water.

Solution:
Eqn 1:
SO2 + H2O H2SO3
Eqn2:
2MnO4+2H2SO35H2SO4+2Mn2+
It implies 2 moles of MnO4 requires 5 moles of SO2.
Therefore, 2.5 x 103 moles of KMnO4 requires = 52 x 2.5 x 103 moles of SO2 = 6.25 x 103 moles

At STP, 6.25 x 103 moles = 6.25 x 22.4 x 103 =1.4 x 103L

In 1000L, 1.41000 x 103 = 1.4 ppm.

So, the Correct option : A
