The volume of \(0.1 \mathrm{M}\) oxalic acid that can be completely oxidized by \(20 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.025 \mathrm{M}\) \(\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}\) solution is

  1. A \(25 \mathrm{~mL}\)
  2. B \(12.5 \mathrm{~mL}\)
  3. C \(37.5 \mathrm{~mL}\)
  4. D \(125 \mathrm{~mL}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(12.5 \mathrm{~mL}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{N}=\frac{\text { molecular weight }}{\text { equivalent weight }} \times \mathrm{M}\)
\[
\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}} &=\frac{158}{31.6} \times 0.025 \\
&=0.125 \\
\mathrm{~N}_{\mathrm{O} . \mathrm{A}} &=\frac{126}{63} \times 0.1=0.2 \\
\because \quad \mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{V}} \mathrm{V}_{1} &=\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{~V}_{2} \\
0.2 \times \mathrm{V} &=0.125 \times 20 \\
\therefore \quad & 0.125 \times 20 \\
\mathrm{~V} &=0.2 \\
&=12.5 \mathrm{~mL}
\end{aligned}
