A 4.0 g sample contained `Fe_2O_3,Fe_3O_4`, and inert material. It was treated with an excess of aq KI solution in acidic medium, which reduced all iron to `Fe^(2+)` ions. The resulting solution was diluted to 50 mL and a 10 mL sample of it was taken the iodine liberated in the small sample was titrated with 12.0 " mL of " 0.5 M `Na_2S_2O_3` solution. The iodine from another 25 mL was extracted, after which the `Fe^(2+)` ions were titrated with 16 " mL of " 0.25 M `MnO_4^(ɵ)` ions in `H_2SO_4` solution. Calculate the mass of two oxides in the original mixture.

Answer» Let `Fe_2O_3-=xmmol`
`Fe_3O_4-=ymmol-=FeO+Fe_2O_3`
`Fe^(3+)=2(x+y)mmol and Fe^(2+)=y m mol`
`2Fe^(3+)+2I^(ɵ)toI_2+2Fe^(2+)`
`2m" mol of "Fe^(3+)-=1 mmol I_2`
`mmol I_2-=2m" mol of "S_2O_3^(2-)` (in 20 mL sample)
`(x+y)(10)/(50)=(1)/(2)xx12xx0.5`
`impliesx+y=15`
Note that now m" mol of "`Fe^(2+)` in 50 mL sample is
`2(x+y)+y=2x+3y`
Also,
`5Fe^(2+)+MnO_4^(ɵ)to5Fe^(3+)Mn^(2+)`
`5m" mol of "Fe^(2+)-=1 m" mol of "MnO_4^(ɵ)`
`implies(25)/(50)(2x+3y)=5(16xx0.25)`
`implies2x+3y=40`
Solving, we get `x=5 and y=10`
Mass of `Fe_2O_3=(5)/(1000)xx160=0.8g`
Mass of `Fe_2O_4=(10)/(1000)xx232=2.32g`

`100 mL` of ozone at `STP` was passed through `100 mL` of `10` volume `H_(2)O_(2)` solution. What is the volume strength of `H_(2)O_(2)` after attraction?A. 9.5B. 9C. 4.75D. 4.5

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`O_(3)toO_(2)+O` .(i)
`H_(2)O_(2)toH_(2)O+O` ..(ii)
`underset((1)/(2)vol)(O)+underset((1)/(2)vol)(O)tounderset(1 vol)(O_(2))` ..(iii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we inter that 100 " mL of " `O_(3)` at STP will produce 100 " mL of " molecular `O_(2)` as such and 100 " mL of " oxygen molecular after reaction with `H_(2)O_(2)`.
This new volume of 100 " mL of " molecular oxygen after reaction with `H_(2)O_(2)` is contributed equally by `O_(3)` and `H_(2)O_(2)`. Thus, 50 " mL of " oxygen have been contributed by `H_(2)O_(2)`.
Again we know
Volume of `H_(2)O_(2)xx` volume stregnth of `H_(2)O_(2)`
`=` Volume of `O_(2)` at STP
`therefore100 " mL of " 10 V H_(2)O_(2)-=1000" mL of " O_(2)` STP
After utilisation of 50 " mL of " `O_(2)`, according to equation (iii), the balance `(1000-50)=950mL` of `O_(2)` at STP are still retainable by `100" mL of " H_(2)O_(2)`.
Hence volume strength of `H_(2)O_(2)` after reaction
`=("Volume" of O_(2) at STP)/("volume" of H_(2)O_(2))=(950)/(100)=9.5V`
`therefore` Volume strength `=9.5`
