The reaction will be-

\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}+\mathrm{KmnO}_{4} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{+2}+\mathrm{O}_{2}

In above-balanced reaction

Electron transfer of H2O2    (n) = 2  (-2 to 0 of Oxygen)

Electron transfer of KmnO4  (n) = 5  (+7 to +2 of Mn)

We know this formula:

\text {Number of Eq. of } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}=\text {Number of Eq. of } \mathrm{KMnO}_{4}

( Mole X n-factor )  of H2O2 = ( Mole X n-factor ) of KmnO4

\mathrm{x} \times 2=\frac{0.316}{158} \times 5

\mathrm{x}=5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~mol}

Now

Mass =  Mole X Molar mass

\mathrm{mass}_{\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}}=5 \times 10^{-3} \times 34=0.17 \mathrm{gm}

We know,

%\text { purity }=\frac{\text { mass of pure product }}{\text { mass of impure product obtained }} \times 100 \%

%\text { purity of }\mathrm{H_2O_2} =\frac{0.17}{0.2}\times 100=85 \ %

Ans = 85
