The dand fblock elements - Result Question 43

####43. Assuming complete ionization, same moles of which of the following compounds will require the least amount of acidified KMnO4 for complete oxidation

[2015 RS]

(a) FeSO4

(b) FeSO3

(c) FeC2O4

(d) Fe(NO2)2

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (a) Considering the same moles of compounds Fe2+SO42 only Fe2+ is oxidised by KMnO4. SO42(+6) in which sulphur is in highest oxidation state cannot be oxidised.

Fe2+SO32(+6)Fe3+CO32SO42+2e

Sulphur can be oxidised to (+6) i.e to SO42

In FeC2O4Fe3+

Carbon can be oxidised to (+IV) i.e to CO2
