Solution
The correct option is C 0.56 L 2KMnO4+3H2SO4+5H2O2⟶K2SO4+2MnSO4+5O2+8H2O Normality of KMnO4 solution= 0.5 N Since Normality = Mortality* n-factor And n-factor for KMnO4 is 5 Molarity of KMnO4 solution= 50.5=0.1M Now 0.1 M means 0.1 moles of KMnO4 are dissolved in 1000ml so in 100 ml moles dissolved are 0.01 moles Now according to the reaction, 2 moles of KMnO4 produce 5 moles of O2 hence 0.01 moles will produce 0.025 moles of O2 1 mole of oxygen gas occupies 22.4 L of gas so 0.025 moles of oxygen gas will occupy = 0.025*22.4 L = 0.56 L of O2
