Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Concepts and Formulas

  • Gram equivalent (Eq) = w/Ew, where w = weight and Ew = equivalent weight
  • Milliequivalent (mEq) = w/Ew × 1000
  • Equivalents = N × V(L) and mEq = N × V(mL)
2

n-Factors of Important Compounds

  • KMnO₄: n=5 (acidic), n=1 (strongly basic), n=3 (neutral/mild basic)
  • K₂Cr₂O₇: n=6 (always acts as oxidizing agent)
  • H₂O₂: n=2 (both as oxidizing and reducing agent)
3

Disproportionation Reactions

  • Single substance acts as both oxidizing and reducing agent
  • Different n-factors for oxidation and reduction half-reactions
  • Effective n-factor = (n₁ × n₂)/(n₁ + n₂) where n₁, n₂ are individual n-factors
4

Hydrogen Peroxide - Volume Strength

  • Volume strength = Volume of O₂ produced at STP by 1mL H₂O₂
  • 1N H₂O₂ = 5.6 volume = 1.7% = 17g/L
  • Commercial H₂O₂: 3% = 10 volume, 30% = 100 volume
