    For decolourisation of 1 mole of \[\text{KMn}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\text{,}\]the moles of \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]required is

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    B)  \[\frac{3}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{5}{2}\]

    D)  \[\frac{7}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The reaction between\[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]and acidified \[\text{KMn}{{\text{O}}_{4}}\]takes place as follows: \[2KMn{{O}_{4}}+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+5{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+2MnS{{O}_{4}}+8{{H}_{2}}O+5{{O}_{2}}\] In this way, we can see that 5 moles of \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]are required to reduce 2 moles of \[\text{KMn}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\text{.}\]Therefore, \[\frac{5}{2}\] moles of\[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\] are required per mole of \[\text{KMn}{{\text{O}}_{4}}.\]
