Question

A mixture of $F e O$ and $F e_{2} O_{3}$ is completely reacted with $100 mL$ of $0.25 M$ acidified $K M n O 4$ solution. The resultant solution was then titrated with $Z n$ dust which converted the $F e^{3 +}$ ions to $F e^{2 +}$ ions. The $F e^{2 +}$ ions required $1000 mL$ of $0.10 M$ $K_{2} C r_{2} O_{7}$ solution. Find out the weight percentage of $F e_{2} O_{3}$ in the mixture.

Solution

The correct option is A 80.85
Milli-equivalents of $F e O$ is equal to
Milli-equivalents of $K M n O_{4}$
$= 0.25 \times 5 \times 100$

Milli-moles of $F e O (n = 1) = 0.25 \times 100 \times 5 = 125$

Total m-eq or m-mol of $F e^{2 +}$
$= 1000 \times 0.1 \times 6 = 600$

(from $F e O$ and $F e_{2} O_{3}$ after reaction with $Z n$ dust)

Milli-moles of $F e^{2 +}$ from $F e_{2} O_{3}$
$= 600 - 125 = 475$
Milli-moles of $F e_{2} O_{3} = \frac{475}{2}$
Weight of $F e O = 0.125 \times (56 - 16) g = 9 g$
Weight of $F e_{2} O_{3}$ $= \frac{475}{2} \times \frac{160}{1000} = 38 g$
$%$ of $F e_{2} O_{3} = \frac{38}{9 + 38} \times 100 = 80.85$
