Question

0.3 g of an oxalate salt was dissolved in 100 mL of water. The solution required 90 mL of N/20 $KMnO_4$ for complete oxidation. The mass percentage of oxalate ion in the salt is:

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Milli-equivalents of $KMnO_4$ used = $90 \times (1/20) = 4.5$ meq = $0.0045$ equivalents. By equivalence, eq of oxalate = $0.0045$ . Equivalent weight of $C_2O_4^{2-}$ = Molar mass / 2 = 88 / 2 = 44 g/eq. Mass of oxalate = $0.0045 \times 44 = 0.198$ g. Percentage = $(0.198 / 0.3) \times 100 = 66\%$ .
