A 10 g sample of impure iron(II) sulphate, FeSO₄, was dissolved in water to make 250 cm³ of solution. Exactly 25.0 cm³ of the solution was titrated with 0.025 mol/dm³ potassium manganate(VII) until the solution just turned pink. The volume of potassium manganate(VII) that reacted was 23.5 cm³. MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5Fe²⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 5Fe³⁺ + 4H₂O
- aCalculate the number of moles in 23.5 cm³ of 0.025 mol/dm³ potassium manganate(VII). [2]
- bCalculate the number of moles of iron(II) sulphate in 25.0 cm³ of solution. [2]
- cCalculate the number of moles of iron(II) sulphate in 250 cm³ of solution. [2]
- dCalculate the mass of iron(II) sulphate in the sample (Mr FeSO₄ = 152). [2]
- eCalculate the percentage of purity of the sample. [2]
- fWhat type of reaction occurred when Fe²⁺ changed to Fe³⁺? Explain your answer. [2]
You'll mark your own answer against the marking guide when you hand it in.
