$500$ mL of $0.2$ M MnO$_4^-$ solution in basic medium when mixed with $500$ mL of $1.5$ M KI solution, oxidises iodide ions to liberate molecular iodine. This liberated iodine is then titrated with a standard $x$ M thiosulphate solution in presence of starch till the end point. If $300$ mL of thiosulphate was consumed, then the value of $x$ is __________.

Some $\mathrm{CO}_2$ gas was kept in a sealed container at a pressure of 1 atm and at 273 K . This entire amount of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ gas was later passed through an aqueous solution of $\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2$. The excess unreacted $\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2$ was later neutralized with 0.1 M of 40 mL HCl . If the volume of the sealed container of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ was $x$, then $x$ is ________ $\mathrm{cm}^3$ (nearest integer). [Given : The entire amount of $\mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})$ reacted with exactly half the initial amount of $\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2$ present in the aqueous solution.]
