Solution

The correct option is C 0.4 M
Reaction of H2O2 with KMnO4 is as
5H2O2+2KMnO4+6H+2K++2Mn2++8H2O+5O2
Now
100 gm of H2O2 soln. contains x gm H2O2
So 3.4 gm of soln. will have (x100)3.4
mass of H2O2 wiil be (x100)3.4 gm
The number of moles of H2O2 will be
n1=given massmolecular mass
` = 0.001x`
Similarly moles of KMnO4 will be:
n2 =Normalityvolume (in litres)
=M×x1000
Now H2O2 and KMnO4 react in the ratio of 5:2 so
n15=n22
0.001x5=0.001Mx2
giving Molarity = 0.4 M
