Q.
In a titration H2O2 is oxidized to O2 by MnO4−.24mL of 0.1MH2O2 of require 16mL of 0.1MMnO4− solution. Hence, MnO4−changes to

Solution:
H2O2→2H++O2+2e−0.1M=0.2N MnO4−⇒Mnx+0.1M=0.1(7=x)N N1V2=N2V2 0.2×24=0.1(7−x)16 (7−x)=3 x=4
Thus, change in oxidation number of MnO4−is 3 . Thus, MnO4−changes to MnO2
