Question

The ion An+ is oxidised to AO3 by MnO4 changing to Mn2+ in acid solution. Given that 2.68×103 mol of An+ requires 1.61×103 mol of MnO4.
What is the weight of one gram equivalent of ACln for the above reaction if the atomic mass of A is 97?

Solution

The balanced chemical equation is as given below:
5An++(5n)MnO4(5n)Mn2++5AO3

5 mol of Agn+(5n) mol of MnO4=2.68×1031.61×103

5n=3 or n=2
Thus, the charge on An+ is +2.
Th oxidation number of A changes from +2 to +5.
The change in oxidation number is +3.
The equivalent weight of AgCl2=Molar massChange in oxidation number=97+713=56
