Q.
A 5.0cm3 solution of H2O2 liberates 0.508g of iodine from
an acidified KI solution. Calculate the strength of H2O2 solution in terms of volume strength at STP.
The redox reaction involved is H2O2+2I−+2H+→2H2O+I2
If M is molarity of H2O2 solution, then 5M=2540.508×1000(∵1 mole H2O2≡1 mole I2) ⇒M=0.4
Also, n-factor of H2O2, is 2, therefore normality of H2O2 , solution is 0.8N. ⇒ Volume strength = Normality ×5.6=0.8×5.6=4.48V
