Easy INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

0.01 M KMnO4 solution was added to 20.0 mL of 0.05 M Mohr's salt solution through a burette. The initial reading of 50 mL burette is zero. The volume of KMnO4 solution left in the burette after the end point is _____________ mL. (nearest integer)

Answer (integer) 30

Solution

Meq of oxidizing agent $=$ Meq of reducing agent <br/><br/> $\left(\mathrm{M} \times \mathrm{V} \times \mathrm{n}_{\text{F}}\right)_{\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}}=\left(\mathrm{M} \times \mathrm{V} \times \mathrm{n}_{\text{F}}\right)_{\text {Mohr's salt }}$ <br/><br/> $0.01 \times 20 \times 5=0.05 \times V \times 1$ <br/><br/> Volume required $=20 ~ \mathrm{ml}$ <br/><br/> Since initial volume of $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ in burette is $50 ~\mathrm{ml}$. <br/><br/> Hence volume of $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ left in the burette after end point is $30 ~\mathrm{ml}$.
