Question

A mixture of FeO and Fe2O3 is completely reacted with 100 mL of 0.25M acidified KMnO4 solution. The resultant solution was then titrated with Zn dust which converted Fe3+ of the solution to Fe2+.
The Fe2+ required 1000 mL of 0.10M K2Cr2O7 solution. Find out the weight %Fe2O3 in the mixture.

Solution

The correct option is A 80.85
Milli-equivalents of FeO=Milli-equivalents of KMnO4=0.25×5×100

Milli-moles of FeO(n=1)=0.25×100×51=125

Total m-eq or m-mol of Fe2+=1000×0.1×6=600
(from FeO and Fe2O3 after reaction with Zn dust)

Milli-moles of Fe2+ from Fe2O3=600125=475

Milli-moles of Fe2O3=4752

Weight of FeO=125×(56+16)1000g=9g

Weight of Fe2O3=4752×1601000=38g

% Fe2O3=3838+9×100=80.85%
