Calculation of Volume of O2 Formed
Given:
Volume of KMnO4 = 100 ml
Normality of KMnO4 = 0.5N
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 + 5H2O2 → K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 8H2O + 5O2
From the equation, we can see that 5 moles of O2 are formed for every 2 moles of KMnO4 used.
Moles of KMnO4 used = Volume of KMnO4 x Normality of KMnO4 / 1000
= 100 x 0.5 / 1000
= 0.05 moles
Moles of O2 formed = 5/2 x moles of KMnO4 used
= 5/2 x 0.05
= 0.125 moles
To find the volume of O2 formed, we need to use the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
At standard conditions, temperature (T) = 273 K and pressure (P) = 1 atm. The number of moles (n) of O2 formed is 0.125.
R is the universal gas constant, which is 0.08206 L atm K-1 mol-1.
V = nRT/P
= 0.125 x 0.08206 x 273 / 1
= 2.168 L
Therefore, the volume of O2 formed is 2.168 L or 0.56 gallons (rounded to two decimal places). The correct answer is option 'C'.

Nf of H2O2 =2 ; nf of MnO4- = 5 in acidic medium we need to calculate VO2 =? So , milli equivalence of H2O2 =milli equivalence of MnO4- moles of H2O2 = moles of KMNO4 � nf of KMnO4�nf of H2O2 that is =25 mole so 1 mole of O2 gives 22.4l then 25 moles of O2 will give = 0.56 litre
