0.2g of a sample of H2O2 reduced 20 ml of 0.1M KMnO4 solution in acidic medium. What is the percentage purity of H2O2? |

Answer» No of moles of KMnO4 present in 20ml of 0.1M KMnOH solution = \(\frac{20}{1000}\) x 0.1 = 2 x 10-3 The balanced equation for the redox reactions is: 2KMnO4 + 5H2O2 + 3H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 8H2O + 5O2 …(1) From the equation, 2 moles of KMnO4 = 5 moles of H2O2 2 x 10-3 moles of KMnO4 will react with H2O2 = \(\frac{5}{2}\) x 2 x 10-3 = 5 x 10-3 moles Molecular wt. of H2O2 = 34 Amount of H2O2 actually present = 34 x 5 x 10-3 = 0.17g Percentage purity of in 20 ml is = \(\frac{0.17}{0.20}\) x 100 = 85 No of moles of KMnO4 present in 20 mL of 0.1M KMnO4 solution = \( \frac{20}{1000}L\times 0.1\,M\) = 2 x 10-3 mol. The balanced chemical equation for the redox reaction is : 2KMnO4 + 5H2O2 + 3H2SO4 → 2MnSO4 + K2SO4 + 8H2O + 5O2 .....(1) According to above balance chemical equation - ∵ We have required 5 mole pure H2O2 to reduce 2 mol KMnO4. ∴ Number of moles of pure H2O2 required to reduce 2 x 10-3 mol KMnO4 = \(\frac{5}{2}\) x 2 x 10-3 mol = 5 x 10-3 mol of pure H2O2 Molecular weight of H2O2 = 34 g/mol ∴ Mass of pure H2O2 = 5 x 10-3 mol x 34g/mol = 0.17 g But, Amount of H2O2 actually precent = 0.2g ∴ Percentage purity of H2O2 = \(\frac{0.17}{0.20}\times 100\) = 85 Hence, The purity of H2O2 was 85%. |
