Number of moles of `MnO_(4)^(-)` required to oxidise one mole of ferrous oxalate completely in acidic medium will be

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ferrous oxalate is a dual reducing agent. In acidic medium `MnO_(4)^(-)` oxidises ferrous ion to ferric ion and oxalate ion to `CO_(2)`. Thus balanced equation for the reaction between the permanganate ion and ferrous oxalate is 
`3MnO_(4)^(-)("3 mole")+5FeC_(2)O_(4)("5 mole")+24H^(+)rarr 3Mn^(2+)+5Fe^(3+)+10CO_(2)+12H_(2)O`
Thus one mole of `KMnO_(4)` can oxidise 1.67 moles of ferrous oxalate.

Redox is a reaction in which both oxidation and reduction will take place simultaneously . It is obvious that if one substance gives electron there must be another substance to accept these electrons . In some reactions, same substance is reduced as well as oxidised, these reactions are termed as disproportionation reactions. For calculating equivalent mass in redox reaction change in oxidtaion number is realted to n-factor which is reciprocal of molar ratio.
