The formula mass of Mohr's salt is 392 ~g . The iron present in it is oxidised by KMnO ₄ in acid medium. The equivalent mass of Mohr's salt is
Options
- A392
- B31.6
- C278
- D156
Correct answer
A. 392
Step-by-step solution
The reaction between Mohr's salt and KMnO ₄ is aligned 2 KMnO ₄+ Mohr's salt 10 FeSO ( NH ₄ )₂ SO ₄ 6 II ₂ O +8 H ₂ SO ₄ K ₂ SO ₄+2 MnSO ₄+& 10 ( NH ₄ )₂ SO ₄ &+2 Fe ₂ ( SO ₄ )₃+8 H ₂ O aligned Oxidation sate of Fe changes from +2 to +3 . Equivalent weight of Mohr's salt = molecular weight n -factor = 392 1 =392 ~g
