200 cc of x×10−3Mx \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} potassium dichromate is required to oxidise 750 cc of 0.6 M Mohr's salt solution in acidic medium. Here x=x= ____\_\_\_\_.

Correct answer

375

Step-by-step solution

Mohr's salt (FeSO4⋅(NH4)2SO4⋅6H2OFeSO_4 \cdot (NH_4)_2SO_4 \cdot 6H_2O) is a source of Fe2+Fe^{2+} ions.
The redox reaction with potassium dichromate in acidic medium is:
6Fe2++Cr2O72−+14H+→6Fe3++2Cr3++7H2O6Fe^{2+} + Cr_2O_7^{2-} + 14H^+ \to 6Fe^{3+} + 2Cr^{3+} + 7H_2O.
Moles of Fe2+Fe^{2+} from Mohr's salt solution:
n(Fe2+)=0.6 M×0.750 L=0.45 moln(Fe^{2+}) = 0.6 \text{ M} \times 0.750 \text{ L} = 0.45 \text{ mol}.
From the stoichiometry, 6 moles of Fe2+Fe^{2+} require 1 mole of Cr2O72−Cr_2O_7^{2-}.
Moles of Cr2O72−Cr_2O_7^{2-} required:
n(Cr2O72−)=0.456=0.075 moln(Cr_2O_7^{2-}) = \frac{0.45}{6} = 0.075 \text{ mol}.
Molarity of potassium dichromate:
M=0.075 mol0.200 L=0.375 M=375×10−3 MM = \frac{0.075 \text{ mol}}{0.200 \text{ L}} = 0.375 \text{ M} = 375 \times 10^{-3} \text{ M}.
Therefore, x=375x = 375.
