Question
A sample (5.6 ~g ) containing iron is completely dissolved in cold dilute HCl to prepare a 250 ~mL of solution. Titration of 25.0 ~mL of this solution requires 12.5 ~mL of 0.03 M KMnO _ 4 solution to reach the end point. Number of moles of Fe ^ 2+ present in 250 ~mL solution is x 10^ -2 (consider complete dissolution of FeCl _ 2 ). The amount of iron present in the sample is y \% by weight. (Assume: KMnO _ 4 reacts only with Fe ^ 2+ in the solution Use: Molar mass of iron as 56 ~g ~mol ^ -1 ) The value of x is________ .
