25 g of a sample of `FeSO_(4)` was dissolved in water containing `dil. H_(2)SO_(4)` and the volume made upto 1 litre. 25 mL of this solution required 20mL of `N/ 10 KMnO_(4)` for complete oxidation. Calculate % of `FeSO_(4).7H_(2)O` in given sample.

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the outlined approach in the video transcript.

### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction
The balanced equation for the reaction between KMnO4 and FeSO4 in acidic medium is:
\[ \text{MnO}_4^- + 8 \text{H}^+ + 5 \text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Mn}^{2+} + 4 \text{H}_2\text{O} + 5 \text{Fe}^{3+} \]

### Step 2: Determine the normality of KMnO4 used
We know that:
- Volume of KMnO4 solution (V2) = 20 mL = 0.020 L
- Normality of KMnO4 (N2) = N/10 = 0.1 N

Using the formula for milliequivalents:
\[ \text{Milliequivalents of KMnO4} = N2 \times V2 = 0.1 \, \text{N} \times 0.020 \, \text{L} = 0.002 \, \text{equivalents} \]

### Step 3: Relate the milliequivalents of KMnO4 to FeSO4
From the balanced equation, 1 equivalent of KMnO4 reacts with 5 equivalents of FeSO4. Therefore, the milliequivalents of FeSO4 (N1 and V1) can be calculated as:
\[ \text{Milliequivalents of FeSO4} = 5 \times \text{Milliequivalents of KMnO4} = 5 \times 0.002 = 0.01 \, \text{equivalents} \]

### Step 4: Calculate the normality of FeSO4 solution
We know:
- Volume of FeSO4 solution (V1) = 25 mL = 0.025 L

Using the formula:
\[ N1 \times V1 = \text{Milliequivalents of FeSO4} \]
\[ N1 \times 0.025 = 0.01 \]
\[ N1 = \frac{0.01}{0.025} = 0.4 \, \text{N} \]

### Step 5: Calculate the mass of FeSO4.7H2O in the solution
The equivalent mass of FeSO4.7H2O can be calculated as follows:
- Molar mass of FeSO4.7H2O = 278.01 g/mol

Using the normality formula:
\[ \text{Normality} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{equivalent mass} \times \text{volume in L}} \]
Rearranging gives:
\[ \text{mass} = N1 \times \text{equivalent mass} \times \text{volume in L} \]
\[ \text{mass} = 0.4 \times 278.01 \times 1 = 111.204 \, \text{g} \]

### Step 6: Calculate the percentage of FeSO4.7H2O in the sample
Now, we need to find the percentage of FeSO4.7H2O in the original 25 g sample:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{mass of FeSO4.7H2O}}{\text{mass of sample}} \right) \times 100 \]
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{111.204}{25} \right) \times 100 = 444.816\% \]

### Step 7: Correct the calculation
It seems there was a mistake in the calculation of the mass of FeSO4.7H2O. The correct mass should be calculated based on the normality derived from the titration.

Using the correct normality:
\[ \text{mass} = 0.08 \times 278.01 \times 1 = 22.24 \, \text{g} \]
Then, the percentage is:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{22.24}{25} \right) \times 100 = 88.96\% \]

### Final Answer:
The percentage of FeSO4.7H2O in the given sample is **88.96%**.
