JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 7. Redox reactions

In order to oxidise a mixture of \(1\) mole each of \(FeC_2O_4\), \(Fe_2(C_2O_4)_3\), \(FeSO_4\) and \(Fe_2(SO_4)_3\) in acidic medium, the number of moles of \(KMnO_4\) required is

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In acidic medium, \(KMnO_4\) acts as an oxidising agent and gets reduced to \(Mn^{2+}\). The n-factor for \(KMnO_4\) is \(5\). The n-factors for the given reducing agents are calculated based on the total number of moles of electrons lost per mole of the compound: For…
