Solution

The correct option is B 0.005 mol of KMnO4 is left.
Millimoles of H2O2=25×0.5=12.5
Millimoles of KMnO4=50×0.2=10
1 millimole KMnO4 oxidizes 2.5 millimoles of H2O2.
So, amount of KMnO4 used to oxidize 12.5 millimoles of H2O2=12.52.5=5
Amount of O2 generated =12.52=6.25 millimoles
Hence, B is the correct answer.
