Ba3 (PO 4 )2  6NaCl  Gram equivalent of An
= 2.68  103 (5 – n)
In this reaction, 3 moles of BaCl2 combined Now equating the above gram equivalent with
with 2 moles of Na3PO 4 . Hence, 0.5 mole of gram equivalent of KMnO 4 :
BaCl2 requires 2.68  103 (5  n)  1.61  10 3  5

Sol.12 The redox reaction involved is :
Since available Na3PO 4 (0.2 mole) is less than
required mole (0.33), it is the limiting reactant H2O2  2I   2H  2H2O  I2
and would determine the amount of product If M is molarity of H2 O 2 solution, then

2 moles of Na3PO 4 gives 1 mole Ba3 (PO 4 )2 254
( 1 mole H2O2  1 mole I 2 )

only as:
5C2O42  2MnO4  16H 

2Mn2  10CO2  8H2O

Let, in the given mass of compound, x millimol
2
of C2O 4 ion is present, then
2 
Meq. of C2O 4 = Meq of MnO 4
 2x = 0.02 × 5 × 22.6

At the later stage, with I ,Cu is reduced as :
2Cu2  4I   2CuI  I2
2  2
and I2  2S2O3  2I  S 4 O6
Let there be x millimole of Cu2 .
 Meq of Cu2 = Meq of I 2 = meq of hypo
 x = 11.3 + 0.05 = 0.565
 2
Meq of Cu2 : Meq of C2O 4

Sol.14 Let us consider 10 mL of the stock

solution contain x millimol oxalic acid H2C2O 4

and y millimol of NaHC2O 4 . When titrated

against NaOH, basicity of oxalic acid is 2 while
that of NaHC2O 4 is 1.
 2x + y = 3 × 0.1 = 0.3…(i)
When titrated against acidic KMnO 4 , n-factor

of both oxalic acid and NaHC2O 4 would be 2.

 2x + 2y = 4 × 0.1 = 0.4…(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii) gives y = 0.1, x =
0.1.
 In 1.0 L solution, mole of H2C2O 4

 Mass of H2C2O 4 = 90 × 0.01 = 0.9 g

Mass of NaHC2O 4 =112×0.01 = 1.12 g
