A solution of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is titrated with
potassium permanganate, KMnO4, according to the following equation: 5H2O2 + 2KMnO4
+ 3H2SO4 = 5O2 + 2MnSO4 + 8H2O + K2SO4. It requires 46.0 mL of 0.145 Mol/L
KMnO4 to titrate 50.0 mL of the solution of H2O2. What is the mole per liter
concentration of H2O2 in the solution?
