Question

A solution contains mixture of H2SO4 and H2C2O4.H2O. 25 mL of this solution requires 35.5 mL of N10NaOH for neutralization and 23.45 mL of N10KMnO4 for oxidation. Calculate the strength of H2C2O4 (in g/L).

Solution

Let meq. of H2SO4 and H2C2O4 be a and b respectively.
Acid-base reaction of H2SO4 and H2C2O4 with NaOH is taking place.
In 25 mL solution:
Meq.ofH2SO4+Meq.ofH2C2O4=Meq.ofNaOH
a+b=35.5×110
or, a+b=3.55 ......... (i)

Redox change of H2C2O4 with KMnO4.
Mn7++5eMn2+
(C3+)22C4++2e
In 25 mL solution:
Meq.ofH2C2O4=Meq.ofoxalicacid
or, b=23.45×110=2.345 ........ (ii)

By equations (i) and (ii),
Meq.ofH2SO4=a=3.552.345=1.205

NH2SO4=1.20525=0.0482

Strength of H2SO4=N×Eq.=0.0482×49 =2.362 g/L

Meq.ofH2C2O4=b=2.345

NH2C2O4=2.34525=0.0938

Strength of H2C2O4=0.0938×63=5.909 g/L
