A solution of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 , is titrated with potassium permanganate, KMnO4 , according to the following equation:
5 H2O2 + 2 KMnO4+ 3H2SO4 -> 5O2 + 2 MnSO4 +8H2O + K2SO4
It requires 46.9mL of 0.145 mol/L KMnO4 to titrate 50.0 mL of the solution of H2O2 .
What is the moles per litre concentration of H2O2 in the solution?
volume of KMnO4 = 46.9 mL
Molarity = 0.145 mol / L
moles of KMnO4 = 46.9 x 0.145 / 1000 = 6.8 x 10^-3 mol
from the balanced equation :
5 mol H2O2 ---------------> 2 mol KMnO4
?? ---------------> 6.8 x 10^-3 mol KMnO4
moles of H2O2 = 6.8 x 10^-3 x 5 / 2 = 0.0170 mol
volume of H2O2 = 50 mL
Molarity = 0.0170 / 0.050 = 0.340 mol / L
concentration of H2O2 = 0.340 mol / L
