Hydrogen peroxide solution (20 ml) reacts quantitatively with a solution of KMnO4 solution is just decolourised by 10 ml of MnSO4 in neutral medium simultaneously forming a dark brown precipitate of hydrated MnO2. The brown precipitated is dissolved in 10 ml of 0.2 M sodium oxalate under boiling condition in the presence of dilute H2SO4.

Explanation

Let the molarity of $\mathrm{KMnO}_4$ be $M_1$. Moles of $\mathrm{KMnO}_4$ in $20 \mathrm{ml}$

$$ =\frac{20 \times M_1}{1000} $$

$n$-factor of $\mathrm{KMnO}_4$ when it reacts with $\mathrm{MnSO}_4$ is 3.

$\therefore$ Equivalent of $\mathrm{KMnO}_4$ reacting with $\mathrm{MnSO}_4=\frac{20 \times M_1}{1000} \times 3$

$\therefore$ Equivalent of $\mathrm{MnSO}_4$ reacting with $\mathrm{KMnO}_4=\frac{20 \times M_1}{1000} \times 3$

Since $\mathrm{MnSO}_4$ has $n$-factor 2, the mole of $\mathrm{MnSO}_4$ reacting

$$ =\frac{20 \times M_1}{1000} \times \frac{3}{2} $$

Total mole of $\mathrm{MnO}_2$ produced $=$ mole of $\mathrm{KMnO}_4+$ mole of $$ \mathrm{MnSO}_4 $$

Equivalent of $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4$ reacting with $\mathrm{MnO}_2=\frac{10 \times 0.2}{1000} \times 2$

$\therefore$ Equivalent of $\mathrm{MnO}_2=\frac{10 \times 0.2}{1000} \times 2$

Mole of $\mathrm{MnO}_2$ reacting with sodium oxalate $=\frac{10 \times 0.2 \times 2}{1000 \times 2}$

[as $n$-factor for $\mathrm{MnO}_2$ is 2].

Therefore, $\frac{20 \times M_1}{1000}+\left[\frac{20 \times M_1}{1000} \times \frac{3}{2}\right]=\frac{10 \times 0.2}{1000} ; M_1=0.04$

Equivalent of $\mathrm{KMnO}_4$ reacting with $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2=\frac{20 \times 0.04}{1000} \times 5$ $$ =0.004 $$

If molarity of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$ is $M_2$, then $=\frac{20 \times M_2 \times 2}{1000}=0.004$

$\therefore M_2=0.1 \mathrm{M}$

The reactions involved are:

$2 \mathrm{KMnO}_4+5 \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}_2+3 \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4 \rightarrow \mathrm{K}_2\mathrm{SO}_4+2 \mathrm{MnSO}_4+8 \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}+5 \mathrm{O}_2$,

$2 \mathrm{KMnO}_4+3 \mathrm{MnSO}_4+2 \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} \rightarrow 5 \mathrm{MnO}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4+\mathrm{K}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$,

$\mathrm{MnO}_2+\mathrm{Na}_2\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{O}_4+2 \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4 \rightarrow \mathrm{MnSO}_4+2 \mathrm{CO}_2+\mathrm{Na}_2\mathrm{SO}_4+2 \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}$.
