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 decolourised by 10 mL of MnSO4 in neutral medium simultaneously forming a dark brown precipitate of hydrated MnO2. The brown precipitate 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

(i) MnO2ppt.1 mole+Na2C2O4 1 mole+2H2SO4MnSO4+Na2SO4+2CO2+2H2O
mM of MnO2=mN of Na2C2O4=10×0.2=2
(ii) 2KMnO42 mole+3MnSO4+2H2O5MnO2ppt.5 mole+K2SO4+2H2O
mM of KMnO4=mN of MnO2×25=2×25=45
(iii) 2KMnO42 moles+3H2SO4+5H2O25 moleK2SO4+2MnSO4+8H2O+5O2
mM of H2O2=mM of KMnO4×52=45×52=2
M×20=2
or MH2O2=220=0.1 M.
