1. A solution of 0.05M KMnO4 was titrated with a solution of 0.268g Na2C2O4 100mL. What is the volume of KMnO4 required to the end point?
2. Calculate the % C2O42- in each of the following :-
a. Na2C2O4
b. K2[Cu (C2O4)2].2H2O
5C2O42- + 2MnO4- + 16H+ ---------> 2Mn+2 +10Co2 + 8H2O
no of moles of Na2C2O4 = W/G.M.Wt
= 0.268/134 = 0.02moles
5 moles of Na2C2O4 = 2 moles of KMnO4
0.02 moles of Na2C2O4 = 2*0.02/5 = 0.008 moles of KMnO4
molarity of KMnO4 = no of moles /volume in L
0.05 = 0.008/volume in L
volume in L = 0.008/0.05 = 0.16 L = 160ml
2. % C2O42- = 78*100/134 = 58.2%
% C2O42- = 2*78*100/575.4 = 27.11%
