Question

(B) To standardize a potassium permanganate solution, a 0.250 g sample of FAS (iron(II) ammonium sulfate hexahydrate; molar mass: 342 g) is dissolved in 25.00 mL distilled water, then acidified with sulfuric acid. The solution is then titrated with 35.00 mL potassium permanganate solution from a buret until a pale persistent purple color is attained. Calculate the molarity of the potassium permanganate solution. (C) The standardized potassium permanganate solution is then used to titrate a solution made by dissolving a 0.500 gram sample of a mixture of iron(II) sulfate and sodium sulfate in 50.00 mL dilute sulfuric acid. A total of 10.21 mL of potassium permanganate solution is required to reach the pale purple endpoint. What is the mass percent of iron(II) sulfate in the original mixture?

Explanation / Answer

B)

Given:

Mass of FAS = 0.250 g

Molar mass of FAS= 342 g

Volume of water =25.0 mL

Volume of potassium permanganate solution =35.00 mL

Solution:

We have to write the balanced (overall) reaction between FAS and KMnO4

MnO4- + 5Fe2+ + 8H+ ---
