Ferris & Mona used the ORP sensor to titrate a ferrous ammonium sulfate solution, (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2 with KMnO4 titrant.
They titrated a 15.00 mL aliquot of the Fe+2 solution with 0.0250 M MnO4- solution and determined that the equivalence point was at 20.2 mL.

What is the molarity of the Fe+2 solution?5 Fe+2(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 8 H+(aq) â 5 Fe+3(aq) + Mn+2(aq) + 4 H2OSelect one:a. 0.168 Mb. 0.0928 Mc. 0.0337 Md. 0.673 M

Answer:

The correct option is: A. 0.168 M

Explanation:

Chemical reaction involved:

5 Fe²⁺ (aq) + MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 8 H⁺ (aq) → 5 Fe³⁺ (aq) + Mn²⁺ (aq) + 4 H₂O

Given: For MnO₄⁻ solution-

Number of moles: n₁ = 1, Volume: V₁ = 20.2 mL, Concentration: M₁ = 0.0250 M;

For Fe²⁺ solution:

Number of moles: n₂ = 5, Volume: V₂ = 15 mL, Concentration: M₂ = ?M

To find out the concentration of Fe²⁺ solution (M₂), we use the equation:

[tex]\frac{M_{1}\times V_{1}}{n_{1}} = \frac{M_{2}\times V_{2}}{n_{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{0.0250 M\times 20.2 mL}{1} = \frac{M_{2}\times 15 mL}{5}[/tex]

[tex]0.505 = M_{2}\times 3[/tex]

[tex]M_{2} = \frac{0.505}{3} = 0.168M[/tex]

Therefore, the concentration or molarity of Fe²⁺ solution: M₂ = 0.168 M
