In dilute aqueous H₂SO₄, the complex diaquodioxalatoferrate(II) is oxidized by MnO₄⁻. For this reaction, the ratio of the rate of change of [H⁺] to the rate of change of [MnO₄⁻] is
Answer: 8
Solution
The balanced equation is:
8H⁺ + MnO₄⁻ + [Fe(H₂O)₂(ox)₂]²⁻ → Mn²⁺ + Fe³⁺ + 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
From stoichiometry, 8 moles of H⁺ react with 1 mole of MnO₄⁻.
Therefore, the ratio of rate of change of [H⁺] to rate of change of [MnO₄⁻] = 8.
8H⁺ + MnO₄⁻ + [Fe(H₂O)₂(ox)₂]²⁻ → Mn²⁺ + Fe³⁺ + 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
From stoichiometry, 8 moles of H⁺ react with 1 mole of MnO₄⁻.
Therefore, the ratio of rate of change of [H⁺] to rate of change of [MnO₄⁻] = 8.
