This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

My solution :

Let the number of moles of sulphite ions be MM. Clearly on oxidation the sulphite ion changes to sulphate so the oxidation number changes from 4+4+ to 6+6+, hence the valence factor is 22. The product of moles and valence factor gives the equivalents. The valence factor permagnate solution in acidified solution is 55. Equate the equivalents as :

M×2×20200=101000×0.02×5M ×2×\frac{20}{200} = \frac{10}{1000} × 0.02 × 5

M=51000M=\frac{5}{1000}

As molecular weight of sulphite ion is 8080, percentage by mass is :

0.005×800.5×100\frac{0.005 × 80}{0.5} × 100 =80%=80 \%

Yes,but it can also be solved using milliequivalents.
