It istherefore necessary to periodically determine the purity of the peroxide solutions.This can be done via a redox titration as follows: The density of a particular surgical grade hydrogen peroxide solution is 1.11g.cm-3. Exactly 10 mL of this solution was pipetted and quantitatively transferred, along with a sufficientamount of a dilute sulphuric acid solution, into a 250.00 mL volumetric flask and made up to the mark. A 25.00 mL portion of this diluted solution is pipetted into a conical flask, and titrated with a0.372 M KMnO4 solution. The endpoint of the titration is determined when the colourless solution in the conical flask turns apersistent bright pink due to the presence of excess permanganate ions.

- A sulfuric acid spill occurred on the highway after a truck containing barrels of sulfuric acid swerved out of control from a truck tire blowout. Luckily no one got hurt in the event but there is a concern that the sulfuric acid spill may affect local ground water supply. A sample of the ground water in that area was recovered to assess the extent of contamination of the ground water supply. In order to determine the concentration of sulfuric acid in the sample, 25.00 mL of the ground water sample was titrated with 0.133 M NaOH and you get the following data: Sodium hydroxide (initial buret reading) 0.66 mL Sodium hydroxide (final buret reading) 17.42 mL Calculate the molarity of sulfuric acid in the ground water sample.
