Question

Hydrogen peroxide solution (20 mL) reacts quantitatively with a solution of KMnO4 (20 mL) acidified with dilute H2SO4, The same volume of the KMnO4 solution is just decolorized by 10mL of MnSO4 in neutral medium simultaneously forming a dark brown precipitate of hydrated MnO2.

The brown pecipitate is dissolved in 10 mL of 0.2 M sodium oxalate under boiling condition in the presence of dilute H2SO4, Write the balanced equations involved in the reactions and calculate the molarity of H2O2.

Solution

The correct option is A Molarity=0.1
2KMnO4+3H2SO4+5H2O2K2SO4+2MnSO4+8H2O
2KMnO4+3MnSO4+2H2O25MnO2+2H2SO4+K2SO4
MnO2+Na2C2O4+2H2SO4MnSO4+Na2SO4+2H2O+2CO2
Millimoles of Na2C2O4=10×0.2=2
mEq of Na2C2O4=4

mEq of MnO2=4

mEq of KMnO2=4
mEq of H2O2=4
Millimoles of H2O2=2×103

Molarity = 0.00220 × 1000 M

Molarity=0.1M
