The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the equivalent weights of `KMnO4` in different media and the reduced products, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Equivalent Weights The equivalent weight of a substance is defined as the mass of the substance that will combine with or displace 1 mole of hydrogen or 1 mole of electrons in a redox reaction. - In acidic medium, the equivalent weight of `KMnO4` is given as `M/5`. - In alkaline medium, the equivalent weight is `M/1`. - In neutral (dilute alkaline) medium, the equivalent weight is `M/3`. ### Step 2: Identify the Oxidation and Reduction Reactions In acidic medium, `KMnO4` acts as an oxidizing agent. The manganese in `KMnO4` is reduced from +7 to +2 oxidation state. In the case of oxalic acid (C2O4^2-), carbon is oxidized from +3 to +4 oxidation state. ### Step 3: Calculate the Valency Factors 1. **For Carbon in Oxalic Acid:** - The oxidation state of carbon changes from +3 to +4. - Each carbon atom loses 1 electron. Since there are 2 carbon atoms in oxalic acid, the total loss is 2 electrons per molecule of oxalic acid. - For 1 mole of `Fe2(C2O4)3`, the total loss of electrons is 6 (since there are 3 moles of C2O4^2-). - Therefore, the valency factor for carbon is 6. 2. **For Manganese in KMnO4:** - The oxidation state of manganese changes from +7 to +2. - Manganese gains 5 electrons. - Therefore, the valency factor for manganese is 5. ### Step 4: Set Up the Equivalence Equation In a redox reaction, the number of equivalents of the oxidized species must equal the number of equivalents of the reduced species: \[ \text{Equivalents of oxidized species} = \text{Equivalents of reduced species} \] For our reaction: - Moles of `Fe2(C2O4)3` = 1 - Moles of `KMnO4` = X Using the valency factors: \[ 1 \times 6 = X \times 5 \] ### Step 5: Solve for X \[ 6 = 5X \implies X = \frac{6}{5} = 1.2 \] ### Conclusion The value of X, which represents the moles of `KMnO4` required to oxidize 1 mole of `Fe2(C2O4)3`, is 1.2.
