Exercise 2.

1. a. What is the molarity of a solution of KMnO 4 if 40.00 ml will oxidize 0.3 g Na 2C2O4 (134
g/mol)?

b. What is the value of 1.00 ml of the above solution in terms of FeSO4.7H2O ( 278 g/mol)

c. What is the value of 1.00 ml of the above permanganate solution in terms of grams As 2O3
(198 g/mol)

2. A 20 ml aliquot of malonic acid solution was treated

with 10.0 ml of 0.25M Ce4+ leading to the reaction

CH2(COOH)2 + 6Ce4+ + 2H2O  HCOOH + 2CO2 + 6Ce3+ + 6H+

After standing for 10 minutes at 60oC, the solution was cooled and the x’ss Ce 4+ was
titrated with 0.1M Fe2+, requiring 14.4 ml to reach the ferroin end point. Calculate the M
of the malonic in the sample.
3. What is the % of Cr in a sample of chrome-iron ore if 0.200 g of the ore after oxidation
with Na2O2 and treatment of the acidified solution with 5.0 mmol of ferrous sulfate
requires 0.166 mmol of dichromate for the x’ss Fe(II)?

4. Calculate the molarity of Na2S2O3 if

41.22 ml is equivalent to 37.84 ml I2
solution, 35.62 ml of this I 2 solution
is equivalent to 0.2750 g As 2O3
(197.84 g/mol)
