In an acidic solution, 20 mL of 0.1 mol/L Fe is titrated with 0.04 mol/L KMnO (MnO + 5Fe + 8H → Mn + 5Fe + 4HO). What volume of KMnO is needed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. 10 mL

  1. Step 1: Moles of Fe mol.
  2. Step 2: MnO : Fe , so moles of MnO and volume mL.
Answer
10 mL.
Why not the others: 50 mL: the 1 : 5 mole ratio is ignored. 250 mL: the mole ratio is applied the wrong way. 20 mL: equal volumes are assumed.
