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 \times 1 0^{- 2}

(consider complete dissolution of

FeCl_{2}

). The amount of iron present in the sample of

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 y is ____.

Answer: 18.75

Solution

From the previous question, moles of

Fe^{2 +}

in 250 mL = 1.875 × 10⁻² mol. Mass of Fe = 1.875 × 10⁻² × 56 = 1.05 g. Percentage by weight = (1.05/5.6) × 100 = 18.75%.
