Hydroxylamine reduces iron (III) according to the following reaction:
2NH2OH+Fe3+→N2O(g)↑+H2O+4Fe2++4H⨁
Iron(II) thus produced is estimated by titration with a standard permanganate solution. The reaction is:
MnO⊝4+5Fe2++8H⨁→Mn2++5Fe3++4H2O
A 10 mL sample of hydroxylamine solution was diluted to 1 L. When 50 mL of this diluted solution was boiled with an excess of iron (III) solution, the resulting solution required 12 mL of 0.02M KMnO4 solution for complete oxidation of iron (II). Calculate the weight of hydroxylamine in 1 L of the original solution (H=1,N=14,O=16,K=39,Mn=55,Fe=56):
