The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many moles of `FeSO4`, `FeC2O4`, and `H2C2O4` can be oxidized by one mole of `KMnO4`. Let's go through the steps systematically. ### Step 1: Understand the oxidation reactions We need to write the balanced chemical equations for the oxidation of `FeSO4`, `FeC2O4`, and `H2C2O4` by `KMnO4`. ### Step 2: Balance the reaction for `FeSO4` The balanced reaction for the oxidation of `FeSO4` by `KMnO4` is: \[ \text{MnO}_4^- + 8 \text{H}^+ + 5 \text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Mn}^{2+} + 5 \text{Fe}^{3+} + 4 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] From this equation, we can see that 1 mole of `KMnO4` oxidizes 5 moles of `FeSO4`. ### Step 3: Balance the reaction for `H2C2O4` The balanced reaction for the oxidation of `H2C2O4` (oxalic acid) by `KMnO4` is: \[ 2 \text{KMnO}_4 + 5 \text{H}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow 2 \text{MnSO}_4 + 10 \text{CO}_2 + 8 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] From this equation, we can see that 1 mole of `KMnO4` oxidizes 2.5 moles of `H2C2O4`. ### Step 4: Balance the reaction for `FeC2O4` The balanced reaction for the oxidation of `FeC2O4` by `KMnO4` can be written as: \[ 6 \text{KMnO}_4 + 5 \text{FeC}_2\text{O}_4 + 24 \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow 3 \text{K}_2\text{SO}_4 + 6 \text{MnSO}_4 + 5 \text{Fe}_2\text{SO}_4 + 20 \text{CO}_2 + 24 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] From this equation, we can see that 1 mole of `KMnO4` oxidizes 2.5 moles of `FeC2O4`. ### Conclusion From the balanced equations, we can summarize: - 1 mole of `KMnO4` can oxidize **5 moles of `FeSO4`**. - 1 mole of `KMnO4` can oxidize **2.5 moles of `H2C2O4`**. - 1 mole of `KMnO4` can oxidize **2.5 moles of `FeC2O4`**. ### Final Answer Thus, the correct statements based on the oxidation capabilities of `KMnO4` are: - Option A: 5 moles of `FeSO4` can be oxidized by 1 mole of `KMnO4`. - Option C: 2.5 moles of `H2C2O4` can be oxidized by 1 mole of `KMnO4`. - Option D: 2.5 moles of `FeC2O4` can be oxidized by 1 mole of `KMnO4`.
