0.2g sample of H2O2 required 10 ml of N KMnO4 in a tritation in the prisence of H2SO4 . Find the purity of H2O2 .
ans = 85%
10 ml of 1N KMnO4 solution is used to titrate 0.2gm of H2O2
Mole of H2O2 = 0.2/34= 0.0588 moles
if this solution is made upto 1 ltr to titrate, we have molarity = 0.0588 M
Since H2O2 release 2 H+ ions, Its normality = 2 x 0.0588 = 0.01174 N
Using equation
N1 V1 = N2 V2
10 * 1 = 0.01174 * V2
V2 = 854ml
Hence effective 854 ml is used in 1000 ml depending on purity
hence Purity of H2O2 is 85.4%
