The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how many moles of KMnO4 are required to oxidize 5 moles of ferric oxalate in acidic medium, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the chemical formulas Ferric oxalate is represented as Fe2(C2O4)3. In this case, we have 5 moles of ferric oxalate. ### Step 2: Determine the oxidation states In acidic medium, KMnO4 (potassium permanganate) is reduced from Mn in +7 oxidation state to Mn in +2 oxidation state. The change in oxidation state indicates that each mole of KMnO4 can accept 5 electrons (n-factor = 5). ### Step 3: Calculate the n-factor for ferric oxalate For ferric oxalate (Fe2(C2O4)3), the iron (Fe) has an oxidation state of +3. Since there are 2 Fe atoms, the total charge contributed by Fe is: - Charge from Fe = 2 atoms × +3 = +6. The oxalate ion (C2O4) has a charge of -2, and since there are 3 oxalate ions in ferric oxalate, the total charge from oxalate is: - Charge from C2O4 = 3 ions × -2 = -6. The total n-factor for ferric oxalate is the total number of electrons transferred, which is 6. ### Step 4: Set up the equivalence equation Using the concept of equivalents, we can set up the equation: \[ \text{Equivalents of Fe2(C2O4)3} = \text{Equivalents of KMnO4} \] Where: \[ \text{Equivalents} = \text{n-factor} \times \text{number of moles} \] For ferric oxalate: \[ \text{Equivalents of Fe2(C2O4)3} = 6 \times 5 = 30 \] For KMnO4: \[ \text{Equivalents of KMnO4} = 5 \times \text{number of moles of KMnO4} \] ### Step 5: Equate the equivalents Setting the equivalents equal gives us: \[ 30 = 5 \times \text{number of moles of KMnO4} \] ### Step 6: Solve for the number of moles of KMnO4 To find the number of moles of KMnO4, we rearrange the equation: \[ \text{number of moles of KMnO4} = \frac{30}{5} = 6 \] ### Final Answer Thus, 6 moles of KMnO4 are required to oxidize 5 moles of ferric oxalate in acidic medium. ---
