For decolourisation of 1 mole of acidified KMnO4KMnO_{4}the moles of H2O2H_{2}O_{2}required are.

A

1/2

B

3/2

C

5/2

D

7/2

Answer

5/2

Explanation

Solution

: 2KNnO4+3H2SO4K2SO4+2MnSO4+3H2O2KNnO_{4} + 3H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow K_{2}SO_{4} + 2MnSO_{4} + 3H_{2}O

+5[O][H2O2+OH2O+O2]×5+ 5\lbrack O\rbrack\left\lbrack H_{2}O_{2} + O \rightarrow H_{2}O + O_{2} \right\rbrack \times 5

Hence, 1 mole of KMnO4KMnO_{4} requires 5/2 moles of H2O2H_{2}O_{2}
