Question

3.0 g of pyrolusite ore were treated with 20 g of pure ferrous ammonium sulphate (Mol.mass=392 g mol1) and dilute H2SO4. After the reaction, the solution was diluted to 500 mL. 50 mL of diluted solution required 10 mL of 0.1 N K2Cr2O7 solution. Calculate the % of pure MnO2 in pyrolusite.

Solution

MnO2 present in pyrolusite oxidises ferrous ammonium sulphate into ferric ammonium sulphate, i.e., Fe2+Fe3+.
Unreacted ferrous ammonium sulphate is estimated by potassium dischromate solution.
MnO2+2Fe2++4H+M2++2H2O+2Fe3+
Cr2O2+7+6Fe2++14H+2Cr3++7H2O+6Fe3+
50 mL diluted ferrous ammonium sulphate solution
=10 mL of 0.1 N K2Cr2O7
500 mL diluted ferrous ammonium sulphate solution
=10×10 mL of 0.1 N K2Cr2O7
=100 mL of 0.1 N FeAS
=0.1×3921000×100=3.92 g
Used FeAS=(203.92)=16.08 g

MnO2 persent in pyrolusite =87392×2×16.08=1.784 g

Percentage of pure MnO2=1.7843.0×100=59.4%.
