Assuming complete ionization, same moles of which of the following compounds will require the least amount of acidified KMnO4 for complete oxidation?
  1. FeSO4
  2. FeSO3
  3. FeC2O4
  4. FeNO22

Solution

MnO4-Mn2+ ; Change in oxidation no. = 5
In option,
i. Fe2+ Fe3+
Change in oxidation no. = 1
ii. Fe2+ Fe3+
Change in oxidation no. = 1
SO32-SO42-
Change in oxidation no. = 2
=1+2=3
iii. Fe2+ Fe3+
Change in oxidation no. = 1
C2O42-2CO2
Change in oxidation no. = 2
=1+2=3
iv. Fe2+ Fe3+
Change in oxidation no. = 1
2NO2-2NO3-
Change in oxidation no. = 4
=1+4=5
