Magnetite is an iron oxide ore, which reacts with carbon monoxide to give iron metal and carbon dioxide. When a sample of magnetite is allowed to react with sufficient carbon monoxide, 0.896 L carbon dioxide was produced at NTP. The percentage of iron in magnetite can also be determined by dissolving the ore in acid, then reducing the iron to Fe ²⁺ completely and finally titrating it with aqueous acidic KMnO ₄ . The
Options
- AThe mass of iron formed is 1.76 g .
- BThe number of electrons involved in the redox reaction during titration is 5.
- CThe paramagnetism of the solution decreases during the reaction of Fe ²⁺ with KMnO ₄ .
- DDuring the titration, manganese containing species changes its geometry from square planar to tetrahedral.
Correct answer
B. The number of electrons involved in the redox reaction during titration is 5.
