Question

If it takes 26.0 mL of 0.0250 M potassium dichromate to titrate 25.0 mL of a solution containing Fe2 , what is the molar concentration of Fe2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

moles of potassium dichromate = .0250 x .026 = 65 x 10⁻⁵ moles

1 mole of potassium dichromate reacts with 6 moles of Fe⁺²

65 x 10⁻⁵ moles of potassium dichromate will react with

6 x 65 x 10⁻⁵ moles of Fe⁺²

= 390 x 10⁻⁵ moles

390 x 10⁻⁵ moles are contained in 25 mL of solution

molarity of solution = 390 x 10⁻⁵ / 25 x 10⁻³

= 15.6 x 10⁻² M .
