The correct answer is: 4.48

Volume of H2O2=5 cc

Weight of I2 liberated = 0.508 g

Reaction of H2O2 with KI,

H2O2+2I-I2+H2O.

Here, valency factor of iodine 2I-I2=Change in oxidation number per mole of iodine = 2.

Equivalent weight of I2=Molecular weight of I2valency factor=2542=127 g.

Milli equivalents= Given weight of I2Equivalent weight of I2=0.508127

=Normality×Volume.

Now, 

Milli equivalents of H2O2=Milli equivalents of I2

N1V1(H2O2)=N2V2(I2)

Substituting the values, we get:

N1×51000=0.508127N1=0.508×10005×127=0.8 N.

Now,

for H2O2,

5.6× Normality =Volume strength

5.6×0.8=4.48 V.
