Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 6.5g

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { } \begin{aligned} \text { Number of moles of } \mathrm{FeSO}_4 & =\frac{20 \mathrm{~g}}{152 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}} \\ & =0.132 \mathrm{~mole} \end{aligned}\) The balance ionic equation of redox reaction is…
