Solution

The equivalent masses of H2O2 and KMnO4 are 17 and 31.6 respectively.
Let N be the normality of the KMnO4 solution.
x mL of 1 N KMnO4= x mL of 1 N H2O2=x×N×171000gofH2O2.
1 g of the solution contains x×N×171000gH2O2.
Also, 1 g of H2O2 contains =x100×1gH2O2.
Hence, 17N×x1000=x100.
Hence, the normality of the KMnO4 solution is 1017N=0.588.
The nearest integer is 1.
