Options
- A1 2
- B3 2
- C5 2
- D7 2
Correct answer
C. 5 2
Step-by-step solution
The reaction for decolourisation of 1 mole of KMnO ₄ by H ₂ O ₂ are given as follow: 2 KMnO ₄+3 H ₂ SO ₄ K ₂ SO ₄+2 MnSO ₄ +3 H ₂ O +5[ O ] 5 H ₂ O ₂+5[ O ] 5 H ₂ O +5 O ₂ The overall reaction is 2 KMnO ₄+3 H ₂ SO ₄+5 H ₂ O ₂ K ₂ SO ₄+2 MnSO ₄ +8 H ₂ O +5 O ₂ As 2 moles of KMnO ₄ require H ₂ O ₂=5 moles 1 mole of KMnO ₄ require H ₂ O ₂= 5 2 =2.5 moles
