Correct answer: 85

  1. Write the balanced reaction in acidic medium

In acidic solution, KMnO4KMnO_4KMnO4​ oxidizes H2O2H_2O_2H2​O2​ as:

2MnO4−+5H2O2+6H+→2Mn2++5O2+8H2O2MnO_4^- + 5H_2O_2 + 6H^+ \rightarrow 2Mn^{2+} + 5O_2 + 8H_2O2MnO4−​+5H2​O2​+6H+→2Mn2++5O2​+8H2​O

So, the mole ratio is:

2 mol KMnO4:5 mol H2O22\text{ mol } KMnO_4 : 5\text{ mol } H_2O_22 mol KMnO4​:5 mol H2​O2​


  1. Calculate moles of KMnO4KMnO_4KMnO4​ used

Given mass of KMnO4=0.316 gKMnO_4 = 0.316\,gKMnO4​=0.316g

Molar mass of KMnO4=158KMnO_4 = 158KMnO4​=158

n(KMnO4)=0.316158=0.002 moln(KMnO_4)=\frac{0.316}{158}=0.002\text{ mol}n(KMnO4​)=1580.316​=0.002 mol


  1. Calculate moles of H2O2H_2O_2H2​O2​ reacting

Using the stoichiometric ratio:

2 mol KMnO4→5 mol H2O22\text{ mol } KMnO_4 \rightarrow 5\text{ mol } H_2O_22 mol KMnO4​→5 mol H2​O2​

Therefore,

n(H2O2)=0.002×52=0.005 moln(H_2O_2)=0.002\times \frac{5}{2}=0.005\text{ mol}n(H2​O2​)=0.002×25​=0.005 mol


  1. Calculate mass of pure H2O2H_2O_2H2​O2​ present

Molar mass of H2O2=34H_2O_2 = 34H2​O2​=34

m(H2O2)=0.005×34=0.17 gm(H_2O_2)=0.005\times 34=0.17\,gm(H2​O2​)=0.005×34=0.17g


  1. Find purity of the impure sample

Given total mass of impure sample =0.2 g=0.2\,g=0.2g

Purity (%)=0.170.2×100=85%\text{Purity }(\%)=\frac{0.17}{0.2}\times 100=85\%Purity (%)=0.20.17​×100=85%


  1. Final answer

85\boxed{85}85​

The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
