Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 80 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equivalents of \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}=\) Equivalents of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}=\) Equivalents of \(\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}\)
\(n_{f}\) of \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}=6\)
\(n_{f}\) of \(\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}=5\)
Equivalents \(=n_{f} \times\) Molarity \(\times\) Volume
\(6 \times 0.04 \times 50=5 \times 0.03 \times V_{K M n O_{4}}\)
\(V_{K M n O_{4}}=80 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)
