In the back of my book we have extra problems we can do, to work prepart ourselves for the test. It gives answers, but no explanations. There were a few I didn't understand, so my chem teacher was supposed to help me during lunch. He was absent today (we have a block schedule, so we'll still have the test)! Anyway, I need help solving these equations. Any help would be great!
1) The concentration of a H2O2 solution can by determine by titration against a standardized potassium permanganate solution in an acidic medium according to the following equation:
2MnO4- + 5H2O2 + 6H+ --> 5O2 + 2Mn2+ + 8H2O
If 36.44mL of a 0.01625M KMnO4 solution are required to completely oxidize 25.00mL of a H2O2 solution, calculate the molarity of the H2O2 solution.
2) H2C2O4 is present in many plants and vegetables. If 24.0mL of 0.0100 M KMnO2 solution is needed to titrate 1.00g of a sample of H2C2O4 to the equivalence point, what is the percent mass of H2C2O4 in the sample?

the net ionic is:
2MnO4- + 16H+ + 5(C2O4)2- ---> 2Mn2+ + 10CO2 + 8H2O
Thanks for any help!
