Determintion of the volume strength of the solution of hydrogen peroxide provided...
Hi, I have to dertermine the volume strength of the solution of hydrogen peroxide provided. NOTE the volume strength as I'm not quite sure how to get this!
I had to dilute 10ml, accurately measured, of the hydrogen peroxide to 100ml with distilled water using a volumetric flask. To 10ml of the dilution, 20ml bench sulphuric acid was added and then titrated with 0.02M potassium permanganate solution.
My results where: Titration 1 : 10.6ml
Titration 2 : 10.5ml
The equation for the reaction is :
2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 + 5H2O2 ====> K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 8H20 + 5O2
The molecular mass of hydrogen peroxide is 34.016
I really am stuck. I have been trying to work it out from 2 this afternoon, and now i can't even see straight If anyone can please guide me through i would be extremely grateful.
Thank you in advance
