Question

1 g impure sample of P4O6 is treated with 20 mL aMKMnO4 in acidic medium to produce H3PO4 and MnCl2. 20 mL of same KMnO4 requires 10 mL of 0.2 M FeSO4 for complete reduction. What is percentage purity of P4O6?

Solution

The correct option is C 5.5
The redox changes are as follows:
P4O6+KMnO4H3PO4+MnCl2
(P3+)44(P5+)+8e
5e+Mn7+Mn2+
Equivalents of P4O6= Equivalents of KMnO4 =a×5×20
Also, milliequivalents of KMnO4= milliequivalents of FeSO4[Mn7++5eMn2+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%
