Question

5.5 g of a mixture of FeSO47H2O and Fe2(SO4)39H2O required 5.4 mL of 0.1 N KMnO4 solution for complete oxidation. Calculate the gram mole of hydrated ferric sulphate in the mixture.
(At. mass H=1,O=16,S=32,Fe=56).

Solution

Only FeSO47H2O will be oxidised by KMnO4.
Mol. mass of FeSO47H2O=278
As the conversion involves one electron,
Fe2+Fe3++e
The eq. mass of FeSO47H2O=2781=278
5.4 mL of 0.1 N KMnO4
5.4 mL of 0.1 N FeSO47H2O solution
Amount of FeSO47H2O=0.1×2781000×5.4=0.15 g
Amount of Fe2(SO4)39H2O=(5.50.15)=5.35 g
Mol. mass of Fe2(SO4)39H2O=562
No. of g moles of Fe2(SO4)39H2O=MassMol.mass
=5.35562=0.00952
=9.52×103.
