NEET2008ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of ChemistryActual
Number of moles of MnO ₄⁻ required to oxidise one mole of ferrous oxalate completely in acidic medium will be
Options
- A0.6 mole
- B0.4 mole
- C7.5 moles
- D0.2 mole
Correct answer
A. 0.6 mole
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea : MnO ₄⁻+5 C ₂ O ₄²⁻+24 H ⁺ 3 Mn ²⁺+10 CO ₂+12 H ₂ O Number of moles of MnO ₄⁻ required to oxidise 5 moles of C ₂ O ₄²⁻=3 Number of moles of MnO ₄⁻ required to oxidise 1 mole of C ₂ O ₄²⁻= 3 5 =0.6 ~mol
