Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A student dissolves 1.96 g of Mohr's salt, (), in water with a little dilute sulphuric acid and makes the solution up to 100.0 mL. A 20.0 mL portion is titrated at room temperature with potassium permanganate of concentration . Find the concentration of the Mohr's salt solution, the amount of iron(II) in the portion, the amount of permanganate needed, and the volume of permanganate needed.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. in , so .
Step 2. The portion holds of iron(II).
Step 3. .
Step 4. .
Answer: , , and .
Check. If the Mohr's salt were pure, a portion of would be of the whole, and .
