Question

0.261 g of a sample of pyrolusite was heated with an excess of HCl and the chlorine evolved was passed in a solution of KI. The liberated iodine required 90 mL N30Na2S2O3. Calculate the percentage of MnO2 in the sample.

Solution

MnO3+4HClMnCl2+2H2O+Cl2$
2KI+Cl22KCl+I2
2Na2S2O3+I2Na2S4O6+2NaI
90 mLN30Na2S2O390 mLN30I2
90 mLN30Cl2
90 mLN30MnO2
Eq. mass of MnO2=Mol.mass2=872
[Since, change in O.N. is from 4 to 2]
Amount of MnO2=872×30×901000=0.1305 g
% of MnO2=0.13050.261×100=50.
