Analytical Chemistry Question 198

Question: For preparing 250 mL of N/20 solution of Mohr ’s salt, the amount of Mohr’s salt needed is

Options:

A) 9.8 g

B) 4.9 g

C) 19.6 g

D) 3.2 g

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] The ionic equation for oxidation of Mohr ’s salt is $ F{e^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}F{e^{3+}}+{e^{-}} $ Now Eq. of Mohr’s salt $ =\frac{392}{1}=392 $ Strength = Normality $ \times $ Eq. mass $ =\frac{1}{20}\times 392=19.6g/lit $ Thus for preparing 250 ml of N/20 Mohr’s salt solution, Mohr’s salt needed $ =\frac{19.6}{1000}\times 250=4.9g $
