Hydrogen And Its Compounds Question 3

Question: The purity of $ H_2O_2 $ in a given sample is 85%. Calculate the weight of impure sample of $ H_2O_2 $ which requires 10 mL of $ M/5KMnO_4 $ solution in titration in acidic medium

Options:

A) 2 g

B) 0.2 g

C) 0.17 g

D) 0.15 g

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] $ mEqofMnO_4^{-}\equiv mEqofH_2{O_2} $

$ 10\times \frac{M}{5}\times 5\equiv mEqofH_2O_2 $
$ \Rightarrow 10mEq\equiv mEqofH_2O_2 $ Weight of $ H_2O_2=10\times {10^{-3}}\times \frac{34}{2}\times 0.17 $

$ =0.2g $ Weight of impure $ H_2O_2 $

$ =\frac{100}{85}\times 0.17=0.2g $
