In the titration of potassium permanganate $(KMnO_4)$ against ferrous ammonium sulphate $(FAS)$ solution,dilute sulphuric acid $(H_2SO_4)$ but not nitric acid $(HNO_3)$ is used to maintain an acidic medium,because:

  • A
    It is difficult to identify the end point
  • B
    Nitric acid does not act as an indicator
  • C
    Nitric acid itself is an oxidizing agent
  • D
    Nitric acid is a weaker acid than sulphuric acid

Solution $X$ contains $Na_2CO_3$ and $NaHCO_3$. $20 \ mL$ of $X$ when titrated using methyl orange indicator consumed $60 \ mL$ of $0.1 \ M \ HCl$ solution. In another experiment,$20 \ mL$ of $X$ solution when titrated using phenolphthalein consumed $20 \ mL$ of $0.1 \ M \ HCl$ solution. The concentrations (in $mol \ L^{-1}$) of $Na_2CO_3$ and $NaHCO_3$ in $X$ are respectively:

$20 \, mL$ of calcium hydroxide was consumed when it was reacted with $10 \, mL$ of an unknown solution of $H_2SO_4$. Also,$20 \, mL$ of a standard solution of $0.5 \, M$ $HCl$ containing $2$ drops of phenolphthalein was titrated with calcium hydroxide. The mixture showed a pink color when the burette displayed the value of $35.5 \, mL$,whereas the burette showed $25.5 \, mL$ initially. The concentration of $H_2SO_4$ is $..........M$ (Nearest integer).
