JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 4. d and f- block elements

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In the oxalic acid vs \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\) (in the presence of dil \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) ) titration the solution needs to be heated initially to \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), but no heating is required in Ferrous ammonium sulphate (FAS) vs \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\) titration (in the presence of dil \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) )
Statement II: In oxalic acid vs \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\) titration, the initial formation of \(\mathrm{MnSO}_4\) takes place at high temperature, which then acts as catalyst for further reaction. In the case of FAS vs \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\), heating oxidizes \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) into \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) by oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the experiment.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

  1. A Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  2. B Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  3. C Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. D Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Heating is required in oxalic acid filtration due to High activation energy. Heating is not required in FAS vs \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\) titration because \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) will get converted into \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) by oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the experiment.…
