A solution of hydrogen peroxide was titrated with a solution of potassium permanganate (see reaction). 5 H 2O 2(aq) + 2 KMnO 4(aq) + 3 H 2SO 4 -> 5 O 2(g) + 2 MnSO 4(aq) + K 2SO 4(aq) + 8 H 2O(l)It required 75.00 mL of 0.1626 M KMnO 4 to titrate 3.564 g of the solution containing hydrogen peroxide. What was the mass percentage of H 2O 2 in the solution?

QUESTION 9

  1. A solution of hydrogen peroxide was titrated with a solution of potassium permanganate (see reaction).
    5 H 2O 2(aq) + 2 KMnO 4(aq) + 3 H 2SO 4 -> 5 O 2(g) + 2 MnSO 4(aq) + K 2SO 4(aq) + 8 H 2O(l)It required 75.00 mL of 0.1626 M KMnO 4 to titrate 3.564 g of the solution containing hydrogen peroxide. What was the mass percentage of H 2O 2 in the solution?

    Key Concept:Reactions in solution. The proportional way that compounds react, e.g. aA + bB →cC + dD. This tells us that we can find the mol of one if we know the mol of another in the reaction. Using the proportional behavior described by the balanced reaction. If there are 5 mol of B. We would say the mol of A must be 5 mol B* (A mol A/b mol B). In solutions we can determine moles of each using n = M*V, where n = mol, M = molarity and V = volume.
    Strategy: molarity of permanganate and volume of permanaganate solution → mole of permanganate → mol hydrogen peroxide → mass of peroxide in solution; this + mass of solution→mass %
