Question
A 50 ml 1.92% (w/v) solution of a metal ion Mn+ (atomic weight = 120) was treated with 6 g hydrazinehydrate (80% pure) and mixture was saturated with CO2 gas when entire metal gets precipitated as a complex [M(H2N–NHCOO)n]. The complex was filtered off and the filtrate was titrated with 0.3 M KIO3 in the presence of conc. HCl according to the following equation:
N2H4+IO−3+2H++2Cl−→ICl+3H2O+N2↑
The volume of M10 KIO3 solution needed for the end point to arrive was 160 ml. Find the value of n.
