For the oxidation of 0.2 M FeSO4 solution 0.965 amperes current is passed through it for 1 hour. The volume of the solution that is oxidised in mL is
  1. 70
  2. 80
  3. 60
  4. 90

Solution

Given that,

0.2 M FeSO4 and current = 0.965 amp-hr=0.965×3600 coulomb

Dissociation of FeSO4=Fe2++SO42-

n-factor = 2

We know that, 

Normality = Molarity ×n-factor

Normality = 2×0.2=0.4 N

Here, 96500 coulomb = 1 eq. Fe2+.

0.965×3600 coulomb = 0.965×360096500 eq. of Fe2+ = 0.036 eq.

Also, Normality =No. of gram eq.Volume(L) 0.4=0.036Vol.(L)Vol.(L)=0.0360.4=0.09 L =90 mL

Hence, the volume of the solution that is oxidised in mL=90 mL
