Question

The Fe2 (55.845 g/mol) content of a 2.252 g steel sample dissolved in 50.00 mL was determined by tiration with a standardized 0.100 M potassium permanganate (KMnO4, 158.034 g/mol) solution. The titration required 30.37 mL to reach the end point. What is the concentration of iron in the steel sample?

The titration required 30.37 mL to reach the end point. What is the concentration of iron in the steel sample?

Explanation / Answer

No of moles of KMnO4 present in 30.37 ml of 0.100 M KMnO4 = 30.37*0.1*10-3 =3.037 milli moles

as each mole of KMnO4reacts with 5 moles of Fe2+ ,so no of moles of Fe2+ consumed =5*3.037 =15.185 milli moles

so weight of Fe2+ in the sample =55.845*15.185*10-3 =0.8480 gm

so concentration of iron in steel sample = (0.840/2.252)*100 =37.3 %
