The correct Answer is:
To determine the molarity of the KMnO4 solution used to titrate the Fe²⁺ ions produced from the electrolysis of Fe₂(SO₄)₃, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total charge passed through the solution. The total charge (Q) can be calculated using the formula: \[ Q = I \times t \] where: - \( I = 1.25 \, \text{A} \) (current) - \( t = 1.1 \, \text{hours} = 1.1 \times 3600 \, \text{seconds} = 3960 \, \text{seconds} \) Calculating the total charge: \[ Q = 1.25 \, \text{A} \times 3960 \, \text{s} = 4950 \, \text{C} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of electrons transferred. Using Faraday's law: \[ n = \frac{Q}{F} \] where: - \( F = 96500 \, \text{C/mol} \) (Faraday's constant) Calculating the number of moles of electrons: \[ n = \frac{4950 \, \text{C}}{96500 \, \text{C/mol}} = 0.0513 \, \text{mol} \] ### Step 3: Convert moles of electrons to millimoles. Since \( 1 \, \text{mol} = 1000 \, \text{mmol} \): \[ n = 0.0513 \, \text{mol} \times 1000 = 51.3 \, \text{mmol} \] ### Step 4: Relate moles of Fe²⁺ produced to moles of electrons. The reduction of Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺ involves the transfer of 1 mole of electrons per mole of Fe³⁺ reduced. Therefore, the moles of Fe²⁺ produced is equal to the moles of electrons transferred: \[ \text{Moles of Fe}^{3+} \text{ reduced} = 51.3 \, \text{mmol} \] ### Step 5: Set up the titration reaction with KMnO₄. The balanced reaction for the titration is: \[ \text{MnO}_4^- + 5 \text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Mn}^{2+} + 5 \text{Fe}^{3+} \] From this reaction, we see that 1 mole of KMnO₄ reacts with 5 moles of Fe²⁺. ### Step 6: Calculate the milliequivalents of Fe²⁺. The milliequivalents of Fe²⁺ produced: \[ \text{Milliequivalents of Fe}^{2+} = 51.3 \, \text{mmol} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the milliequivalents of KMnO₄. Using the stoichiometry from the titration: \[ \text{Milliequivalents of KMnO}_4 = \frac{\text{Milliequivalents of Fe}^{2+}}{5} = \frac{51.3}{5} = 10.26 \, \text{meq} \] ### Step 8: Calculate the molarity of KMnO₄. Using the formula: \[ \text{Milliequivalents} = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume (mL)} \] where the volume of KMnO₄ solution used is 25 mL: \[ 10.26 = M \times 25 \] Solving for M: \[ M = \frac{10.26}{25} = 0.4104 \, \text{M} \] ### Final Answer: The molarity of the KMnO₄ solution is approximately **0.41 M**. ---
