Question

Hydroxylamine reduces iron (III) according to the equation,
2NH2OH(aq)+4Fe3+(aq)N2O(g)+H2O(l)+4Fe2+(aq)+4H+(aq)
Iron (II) thus produced is estimated by titration with a standard permanganate solution. The reaction is:
MnO4+5Fe2++8H+Mn2++5Fe3++4H2O
A 10 mL sample of hydroxylamine solution was diluted to one litre. 50 mL of this diluted solution was boiled with excess of iron (III) solution. The resulting solution required 12 mL of 0.02 M KMnO4 solution for complete oxidation of iron (II). Calculate the mass of hydroxylamine in one litre of the original solution.

Solution

12 mL of 0.02 M KMnO412 mL of 0.1 N KMnO4
12 mL of 0.1 N Fe2+
12 mL of 0.1 N NH2OH
Eq. mass of NH2OH=Mol.mass2=332=16.5
Mass of NH2OH in 12 mL of 0.1 N NH2OH soln.
=N×E×V1000=0.1×16.5×121000=0.0198 g
50 mL of diluted solution contains NH2OH=0.0198 g
1000 mL of diluted solution contains NH2OH
=0,019850×1000=0.396 g
10 mL of original solutions contains NH2OH=0.396 g
1000 mL of original solution contains NH2OH=100×0.396=39.6 g.
