Assuming complete ionization same moles of the following compundswill require theleast amount ofacidicfied MNnO_(4) for complete oxidatoin ?

Answer»

`FeSO_(3)`
`FeC_(2)O_(4)`
`FE(NO_(2))_(2)`
`FeSO_(4)`

Solution :Reduction half reaction
`MnO_(4)^(-)+8H^(+)+5e^(-)rarrMn^(2+)+4H_(2)O`
no of electrons involved in the reqction =5
(a) oxidation of `FeSO_(3)`to `Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)`
`Fe^(2+)rarrFe^(3+)+e^(-)`
`SO_(3)^(2-)+H_(2)OrarrSO_(4)^(2-)+2H^(+)+2E^(-)`
(B) oxidation of `FeC_(2)O_(4)`
`Fe^(2+)rarrFe^(3+)+e^(-)`
`C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)rarr2CO_(2)+2e^(-)`
(c ) oxidation of `Fe(NO_(2))_(2)`
`Fe^(2+)rarrFe^(3+)`
`2NO_(2)^(-)+2H_(2)Orarr2NO_(3)+4H^(+)+4e^(-)`
(d) oxidation of `FeSO_(4)`
`Fe^(2+)rarrFe^(3+)+e^(-)`
no of ELECTRONIC involved =1since `FeSO_(4)` gives least number of electons therefore it will required least amount of L `MnO_(4)` for its oxidation
