A sample $(5.6 \mathrm{~g})$ containing iron is completely dissolved in cold dilute $\mathrm{HCl}$ to prepare a $250 \mathrm{~mL}$ of solution. Titration of $25.0 \mathrm{~mL}$ of this solution requires $12.5 \mathrm{~mL}$ of $0.03 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ solution to reach the end point. Number of moles of $\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}$ present in $250 \mathrm{~mL}$ solution is $\mathbf{x} \times 10^{-2}$ (consider complete dissolution of $\mathrm{FeCl}_{2}$ ). The amount of iron present in the sample is $\mathbf{y} \%$ by weight.
(Assume: $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ reacts only with $\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}$ in the solution Use: Molar mass of iron as $56 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ )
The value of x is________ .

Solution

Moles of Fe2+ present in 250 ml solution =x×10-2

Moles of Fe2+ present in 25 ml solution = x×10-3 mole

At equivalence point

eq. of Fe2+ = eq. of KMnO4

MolesFe2+×vfFe2+=MolesKMnO4×vfKMnO4

x×103×1=0.03×12.5×103×5

x=1.875 mole

Moles of Fe2+ present in 250 ml solution =1.875×10-2

Mass of Fe2+ present in 250 ml solution

=1.875×10-2×56 gm

=1.05 gm

% of Fey=1.055.6×100

=18.75%
