Solution
The correct option is C5.5
The redox changes are as follows:
P4O6+KMnO4⟶H3PO4+MnCl2 (P3+)4⟶4(P5+)+8e 5e+Mn7+⟶Mn2+ Equivalents of P4O6=Equivalents of KMnO4=a×5×20 Also, milliequivalents of KMnO4=milliequivalents of FeSO4[Mn7++5e⟶Mn2+Fe2+⟶Fe3++I] a×5×20=0.2×1×10 ∴a=0.02 ∴ Milliequivalentsof P4O6=0.02×5×20=2.0 ∴ Mass of P4O6=2×2201000×8[EP2O5=M8]=0.055 g Percentage of P4O6=5.5%
