Hydrogen peroxide solutions can easily be decomposed by dust, trace amounts of metals or light. It is therefore necessary to periodically determine the purity of the peroxide solutions. This can be done via a redox titration as follows: The density of a particular surgical grade hydrogen peroxide solution is 1.11g.cm-3. Exactly 10 mL of this solution was pipetted and quantitatively transferred, along with a sufficient amount of a dilute sulphuric acid solution, into a 250.00 mL volumetric flask and made up to the mark. A 25.00 mL portion of this diluted solution is pipetted into a conical flask, and titrated with a 0.372 M KMnO4 solution. The endpoint of the titration is determined when the colourless solution in the conical flask turns a persistent bright pink due to the presence of excess permanganate ions. The average titration value is 26.20 mL of the KMnO4 solution 1.Determine the percentage of the hydrogen peroxide in the solution sample. 2. Naturally occurring manganese consists of only the Mn ହହ isotope. Determine the moles of the manganese sulphate in the product solution, and then calculate the total number of neutrons present in all the manganese ions in the final solution
