Question

In a 50 mL solution of H2O2 an excess of KI and dilute H2SO4 were added. The I2 liberated required 20 mL of 0.1N Na2S2O3 for complete reaction.

Solution

The correct option is C 0.68 g L1
2KI (aq)+H2SO4 (aq)+H2O2 (aq)K2SO4 (aq)+2H2O (l)+I2 (g)
I2(aq)+2Na2S2O3(aq)Na2S4O6(aq)+2NaI(aq)

meq. of H2O2 in 50 ml=meq. of I2=meq. of Na2S2O3

meq. of H2O2 in 50 ml=0.1×20=2

meq. of H2O2 in 1000 ml=250×1000=40
Equivalents per litre=401000=0.04
Since, eq. weight of H2O2=342=17Concentration of H2O2 in grams per litre =Equivalents per litre×eq. weight of H2O2

Concentration of H2O2=0.04×17 g L1 =0.68 g L1
