Find the amound of iron pyrites (FeS_2) which is sufficient to produce enough SO_2 on roasting (heating in excess of O_2) such that is (SO_2) completely decolourise a 1 L solution of KMnO_4 containing 15.8 g L^(-1) of it. The equation are FeS_2+O_2toFe_2O_3+SO_2 KMnO_4+SO_2toMnSO_4+H_2SO_4+KHSO_4

Answer»

SOLUTION :First calculate the amount of `SO_2` REQUIRED to decolourise `15.8gL^(-1)` of `KMnO_4` solution. For this, balance the following chemical reaction.
The balanced equation is as:
`KMnO_4+SO_2toMnSO_4+H_2SO_4+KHSO_4`
`2KMnO_4+5SO_2+2H_2Oto2MnSO_4+H_2SO_4+2KHSO_4`
`2" MOL of "KMnO_4-=5 " mol of "SO_2`
Calculate moles in `15.8g L^(-1) of KMnO_4`
Using strength `(GL^(-1))=(M)/(Mw)`
`implies1.0L of KMnO_4` contains 0.1 mol
Hence, moles of `SO_4` required `=(5)/(2)(0.1)=0.25`
To calculate the amount of pyrites, we have to balance the following reaction.
`FeS_2+O_2toFe_2O_3+SO_2`
Balancing the reaction, we have
`4FeS_2+11O_2to2Fe_2O_3+8SO_2`
From stoichiometry of roasting, we have:
`8 " mol of "SO_2-=4" mol of "FeS_2`
`0.25 " mol of "SO_2-=(4)/(8)(0.25)" mol of "FeS_2`
`=0.125 " mol of "FeS_2`
Mass of `FeS_2=0.125xx120=15gL^(-1)`

Find out the oxidation states of two types of Fe atoms in Fe_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]_(3) and reqrite the formula in stock notation form

Answer»

SOLUTION :From our knowledge of COORDINATE complex we know that the species `Fe_(4)` which lies outside the complex ion I.e `[Fe(CN)_(6)]_(3)` is the +ve PART while the complex ion itself is the -ve part in other words the +ve charge on 4 fe atoms ouside the ocordination spher is balanced by the -ve charge on the complex ion since fe has two oxidationstates i.e +2 and +3 and oxidation number of `CN^(-)=-1 THEREFORE`
Fe in the complex ions has an O.N of +2 while the fe atoms outside the coordination spere have an O.N of +3 thus the stock notation for `Fe_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]_(3)` is `Fe_(4)[Fe^(II)(CN)_(6)]_(3)`

Find out theoxidation numbers of (i) S atoms in Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3) and CI atoms in bleaching powder CaOCI_(2)

Answer»

Solution :(i) oxidation number of S ATOMS in `Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)`
(a) By conventional method `overset(+1)Na_(2) overset(X)S_(2) overset(-2)O_(3)` or ` 2xx(+1)+2x+3xx(-2)=0` or x=+2 (wrong)
but this is wrong because both the sulphur atoms cannot be in the same oxidation state as is evident from the fact that when `Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)` is TREATED with dil `H_(2)SO_(4)` one Satom gets preciptated while the other gets converted in to `SO_(2)` the oxdation number of these two S atoms however be determined by the chemical bonding method
by chemical method the structure of `Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)` is
`Na^(+)O-overset(S)overset(uparrow)underset(O)underset(||)S-O^(-)-Na^(+) "or" Na^(+)O-overset(S)overset(||)underset(O)underset(||)S-O^(-)Na^(+)`
since there is a coordinate bond between the two S atoms therefore the acceptors S atom has an O.N of -2 the O.N of the other S atom can be calculated as follows
(ii) oxidation number of chlorine in bleaching powder `CaOCI_(2)`
average O.N of CI in `CaOCI_(2)` is `overset(+2)Ca overset(-2)Ooverset(x)CI_(2)` or 2x+2-2=0 or x=0
(a) by stoichiometry the composition of bleaching powder is `Ca^(2+)(OCI)^(-)CI^(-)` here O.N of CI in `OCI^(-)` is +1 while that in `CI^(-)` is -1 and the average of two oxidation number =`1XX(+1)xx(-1)=0`
