Okay this one is really weirding me out as I am getting my calcuations from a solutions guide and plugging in #'s and it's still wrong
A 40.76 mL sample of solution containing Fe2+ ions is titrated with a 0.0112 M KMnO4 solution. It required 22.25 mL of KMnO4 solution to oxidize all the Fe2+ ions to Fe3+ by the following reaction.
MnO4-(aq) + Fe2+(aq) Mn2+(aq) + Fe3+(aq) (unbalanced)
(a) What was the concentration of Fe2+ ions in the sample solution?
M
(b) What volume of 0.0150 M K2Cr2O7 solution would it take to do the same titration? The reaction is shown below.
Cr2O72-(aq) + Fe2+(aq) Cr3+(aq) + Fe3+(aq) (unbalanced)
mL
Okay, for part A I do (.02225 L )X(.0112 mol/L ) X (5molFe/1molMnO4) = .0012 mols
.0012 mol Fe2 / .04076L = .0306 M Fe2+
Correct
For part b
.04076 L X (.0306 mol Fe2+/ L) X (1molCr2O7/6molFe2+) X (1/.0150 mol CrO7) = .0139 ml, which id wrong.
I think 1/.0150 mol CrO7 might be wrong because i don't know where it came from. I'm just substituting my numbers into the equations in the solution books.
