Q21 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (08 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

In order to oxidize a mixture of one mole of each of FeC2O4,Fe2(C2O4)3,FeSO4 and Fe2(SO4)3 in acidic medium, the number of moles of KMnO4 is:

  • A
     1
  • Correct answer
    B
    2
  • C
    3
  • D
    1.5

Solution

Eq.KMnO4⇒Eq.FeSO4+Eq.Fe2SO43+EqFeC2O4+Eq.Fe2C2O43
KMnO4⇒MnO4-
5e-+8H++MnO4-⇒Mn+2+4H2O V.F=5
Figure
So Eq.KMnO4⇒Eq.FeSO4+Eq.FeC2O4+Eq.Fe2C2O43
n×5=1×1+1×0+1×3+1×6
n×5=1+3+6
n=105=2 mole

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
