In order to oxidise a mixture of 1 mole each of FeC_2O_4 ,...
In order to oxidise a mixture of mole each of , , and in acidic medium, the number of moles of required is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
In acidic medium, acts as an oxidising agent and gets reduced to . The n-factor for is .
The n-factors for the given reducing agents are calculated based on the total number of moles of electrons lost per mole of the compound:
For :
Total electrons lost , so n-factor .
Equivalents .
For :
is not oxidised.
Total electrons lost , so n-factor .
Equivalents .
For :
is not oxidised.
Total electrons lost , so n-factor .
Equivalents .
For :
Neither nor can be oxidised further.
n-factor .
Equivalents .
Total equivalents of the reducing mixture .
Let the number of moles of required be .
Equivalents of .
Equating the equivalents of the oxidising and reducing agents:
