0.3 g of an oxalate salt was dissolved in 100 mL solution. The solution required 90 mLof N20KMnO4 for complete oxidation. The percentage of oxalate ion in the salt is:
The correct option is C. 66%
Number of mili equivalent of KMnO4=90×120=4.5 m equivalents.
and number of mili equivalents of oxalate ions = number of mili equivalents of KMnO4=4.5m equivalents
∵ Number of equivalents =Massequivalent mass
& equivalent mass of oxalate ion =882=44
∴ Mass of oxalate =44×4.5×10−3grams
=198×10−3g
= 0.198 g
∴ percentage in salt oxalate =0.1980.3×100=66%
