Question

If X% of Cr in a sample of dichromate ore if 1.0 g of the sample after fusion is treated with 60 mL of 0.1N FeSO4(NH4)2SO4 and the excess of Fe2+ requires 11.2 mL of K2Cr2O7(1 mL of K2Cr2O7=0.006gFe). Also find % of Cr2O3 in the sample then calculate the value of 100X.

Solution

The correct option is A 1216
6e+Cr2O272Cr3+(n=6)

Fe2+Fe3++e(n=1)

mEq of K2Cr2O7 in 1mL= mEq of Fe

=0.00656×103=656

mEq of K2Cr2O7 in 11.2mL=656×11.2=1.2

mEq of Fe2+ left unused=mEq of K2Cr2O7 used =1.2

Now, mEq of FeSO4(NH4)2SO4 added =60×0.1=6

mEq of FeSO4(NH4)2SO4 left unused =61.2=4.8

mEq of Cr=4.8 (Ew of Cr=52/3)

W52/3×103=4.8

WCr=4.8×52103×3=0.0832g

% of Cr=0.08321.0×100=8.32%

Also, mEq of Cr2O3=4.8

(Ew of Cr2O3=52×2+486=1566)

WCr2O3152/6×103=4.8

WCr2O3=4.8×1526×1000=0.1216g

% of Cr2O3=0.12161.0×100=12.16%
