Assuming complete ionisation, same moles of which of the following compounds will require the least amount of acidified KMnO4 for complete oxidation?

  1. FeSO3
  2. FeC2O4
  3. Fe(NO2)2
  4. FeSO4

Answer

(4) FeSO4

Solution

Acidified KMnO4 oxidises every reducing species present; the amount needed is proportional to the total loss of electrons (n-factor) per mole.

FeSO3: Fe2+ Fe3+ (1 e-) and SO32- SO42- (2 e-) ⇒ n = 3

FeC2O4: Fe2+ Fe3+ (1 e-) and C2O42- 2CO2 (2 e-) ⇒ n = 3

Fe(NO2)2: Fe2+ Fe3+ (1 e-) and 2NO2- 2NO3- (2 2 = 4 e-) ⇒ n = 5

FeSO4: only Fe2+ Fe3+ (1 e-); SO42- cannot be oxidised further ⇒ n = 1

∴ FeSO4 has the smallest n-factor and needs the least KMnO4.
