Solution

The correct option is D 10.34 ml
The precipitation reaction is as follows:
Fe3++3NH3+3H2OFe(OH)3+3NH+4

Moles of Fe2O3 in sample =0.80×0.5160=2.5×103

Moles of Fe3+=2×2.5×103=5×103

MNH3=0.986g/ml×1000ml/litre×0.02517
Therefore, MNH3=1.45

3× moles of Fe3+=moles of NH3

Also, moles of NH3 =1.45×V(inL)

V=3×5×1031.45=10.34×103L or 10.34ml
