Question

2 mole, equimolar mixture of Na2C2O4 and H2C2O4 required V1L of 0.1 M KMnO4 in acidic medium for complete oxidation. The same amount of the mixture required V2L of 0.2 M NaOH for neutralization. The ratio of V1 and V2 is:

Solution

The correct option is C 4:5
Solution: (C) 4:5
Case I:
2 mole, equimolar mixture of Na2C2O4 and H2C2O4 required V1L of 0.1MKMnO4 in acidic medium.
As the mixture is equimolar, 1 mole of each, Na2C2O4 and H2C2O4 are present.
eq. of Na2C2O4+eq. of H2C2O4=eq. of KMnO4(equivalent=mole×valencefactor}
1×2+1×2=V1×0.1×5{ valence factor=Change in oxidation state per molecule}
V1=8L
Case II:
2 mole, equimolar mixture of Na2C2O4 and H2C2O4 required V2L of 0.2MNaOH for neutralization.
eq. of Na2C2O4+eq. of H2C2O4=eq. of NaOH
1×1+1×1=V2×0.2×1
V2=10L
V1:V2=8:10=4:5
