Question

Hydrogen peroxide solution having volume of 20 mL reacts quantitatively with a solution of KMnO4 of volume 20 mL acidified with dilute H2SO4. The same volume of the KMnO4 solution is just decolourised by 10 mL of MnSO4 in a 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. If the molarity of H2O2 is x, then find the value of 10x.

Solution

The reactions involved are given below:
2KMnO4+3H2SO4+5H2O2K2SO4+2MnSO4+8H2O
2KMnO4+3MnSO4+2H2O5MnO2+2H2SO4+K2SO4
MnO2+Na2C2O4+2H2SO4MnSO4+Na2SO4+2H2O+2CO2

Millimoles of Na2C2O4=10×0.2=2
Milliequivalents of Na2C2O4=4
Milliequivalents of MnO2=4
Milliequivalents of KMnO4=4
Milliequivalents of H2O2=4
Millimoles of H2O2=2
Millimoles of H2O2= Molarity × VmL
or 2=Molarity×20
or Molarity=0.1 M
Hence, the value of 10x is 10×0.1=1.
