MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + Cl2
Cl2 + 2KI → 2KCl + I2
I2 + 2Na2S2O3 → 2NaI + Na2S4O6
Redox change are :
2e + I2 → 2I-
2(S2+)2 → (S5/2+)4 + 2e
2e + Mn4+ → Mn2+
The above reaction suggest that,
Meq. of MnO2 = Meq. of Cl2formed
= Meq. of I2 liberated
= Meq. of Na2S2O3 used
Therefore, [w/(M/2)] × 1000 = 0.1 × 1 × 30
[ NNa2S2O3= MNa2S2O3, as, valency factor = 1]
Or, w = (0.1 × 1 × 30 × M)/200
= (0.1 × 1 × 30 × 87)/200
= 0.1305
Therefore, Purity of MnO2 = (0.1305/0.5) × 100
= 26.1%
