The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of moles of KMnO4 required to oxidize a mixture of one mole of each of FeC2O4, Fe2(C2O4)3, FeSO4, and Fe2(SO4)3 in acidic medium, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Oxidation States and Changes 1. **FeC2O4 (Iron(II) oxalate)**: - Iron changes from +2 to +3 (1 electron). - Oxalate (C2O4^2-) is oxidized to CO2 (2 electrons). - Total change = 1 (from Fe) + 2 (from oxalate) = 3 electrons. 2. **Fe2(C2O4)3 (Iron(III) oxalate)**: - Iron is already in +3 state, so it does not change. - Oxalate (C2O4^2-) is oxidized to CO2 (2 electrons). - Total change = 2 (from 3 moles of oxalate) = 6 electrons. 3. **FeSO4 (Iron(II) sulfate)**: - Iron changes from +2 to +3 (1 electron). - Total change = 1 electron. 4. **Fe2(SO4)3 (Iron(III) sulfate)**: - Iron is already in +3 state, so it does not change. - Total change = 0 electrons. ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Number of Electrons Transferred - For FeC2O4: 3 electrons - For Fe2(C2O4)3: 6 electrons - For FeSO4: 1 electron - For Fe2(SO4)3: 0 electrons Total electrons = 3 + 6 + 1 + 0 = 10 electrons. ### Step 3: Determine the n-factor of KMnO4 In acidic medium, the reaction of KMnO4 can be represented as: \[ \text{MnO}_4^- + 8H^+ + 5e^- \rightarrow \text{Mn}^{2+} + 4H_2O \] Thus, the n-factor of KMnO4 is 5 (it accepts 5 electrons). ### Step 4: Calculate the Number of Moles of KMnO4 Required Using the relationship: \[ \text{Moles of KMnO}_4 \times \text{n-factor of KMnO}_4 = \text{Total electrons transferred} \] Let \( n \) be the number of moles of KMnO4 required: \[ n \times 5 = 10 \] \[ n = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \] ### Conclusion The number of moles of KMnO4 required to oxidize the mixture is **2 moles**. ---
