QAIPMT-2008-Ch-2231: NEET 2008 Chemistry - Class 11 AIPMT-2008-Ch-2231 Solution: Number of moles of \(MnO_4^-\) required to oxidize one mole of…
Number of moles of required to oxidize one mole of ferrous oxalate completely in acidic medium will be
Multiple Choice Options
- A 7.5 moles
- B 0.2 moles
- C 0.6 moles
- D 0.4 moles
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
The balanced ionic equation for oxidation of
ferrous oxalate by MnO 4 �
in acidic medium is as
follows :
3MnO 4 - + 5FeC 2 O 4 + 24H + _
3Mn 2+ + 10CO 2
+ 12H 2 O + 5Fe 3+
Thus, 5 moles of FeC 2 O 4 require 3 moles of MnO 4 - .
So, 1 mole of FeC 2 O 4 requires
= 3 5 = 0.6 moles of MnO 4 -
