mass of solute & titration
« on: August 18, 2008, 05:43:12 AM »
The BP requires Hydrogen Peroxide Mouthwash to contain 5.0 to 7.0% m/v H2O2. 10.0 mL of a sample was diluted to 100.0 mL with water. To 10.0 mL of this diluted solution, 20 mL of 1 M sulphuric acid was added and then titrated with 0.0203 M potassium permanganate solution. 37.63 mL was required to reach the end-point. Given that each mL of 0.02 M KMnO4 is equivalent to 1.701 mg H2O2, calculate the % m/v H2O2 content of the mouthwash sample. Does the sample comply with the BP requirement?

few initial steps im  confused  ???

1- What happens on dilution ? 
( i think concentration changes if we dilute the solution from 10 to 100 mL.
 But only 10 mL of diluted  solution is taken.then what hapens to ammount of H2O2)
2 - what happens when  20 mL of 1M sulphuric acid was added  :(

 for titration i know steps  :)
volume of 0.02 M potassium permagnate solution
 0.02 M x V mL =  0.0203 M x 37.63 mL
V mL =  38.19 mL

now 1 ml of 0.02 M  KMnO4 solution = 1.701 mg H2O2
so 38.19 ml of solution = 38.19 x 1.701 mg H2O2
                              = 64.9 mg H2O2
3- How to convert this to the ammount initially present in 10 mL of sample ? (before dilution ) ???

Just dilution. You should remember you titrate 0.1 of  H2O2 content. Titration needs an acidic environment (you use an excess of H2SO4).
Start from a balanced reaction
H2O2 + KMnO4 + H2SO4 =
