Question

In a water treatment plant, Cl2 used for the treatment of water is produced from the following reaction:
2KMnO4+16HCl2KCl+2MnCl2+8H2O+5Cl2
If during each feed, 1 L KMnO4 having 79% (w/v) KMnO4 and 9 L HCl with d=1.825 g/mL and 10% (w/w) HCl are entered and if that percent yield is 80%, then match the following.

Solution

Given,
1KMnO4 having 79%(w/v)79 of KMnO4 in 100 of solution
1 will contain 790 of KMnO4 Molecular weight is 158
nKMnO4=790158=5dHCl=1.825/=1825/
9 of solution=(9×1825)=16425
10 % w/w of HCl1642.5 of HCl in 16425 of solution
nHCl=1642.536.5=45
2KMnO4+16HCl2KCl+2MnCl2+8H2O+5Cl2
Clearly, HClis in excess
nCl2 formed=5×52×0.8=10
28.4 of Cl2 heats 1 if water
Total Cl2 formed=10=710
Volume of water that can be treated=71028.4=25
Vol.ofwatertreatedVol.oftotalfeed=25(1+9)=2.5
