If stoichiometric quantities of \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\) and \(\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\) mixture is added for the oxidation of \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) to \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) in acidic medium, then \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) will be oxidised

  1. A equally by \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\) and \(\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\)
  2. B more by \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\)
  3. C more by \(\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\)
  4. D no reaction

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) more by \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{KMnO}_4+\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\) In this process \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\) is strong oxidising agent in acidic medium. It oxidises \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) to \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} . \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\) is weak oxidising agent in acidic medium.
