An organic compound contains carbon, hydrogen, and sulfur. A
sample of it with a mass of 2.712 g was burned in oxygen to give
gaseous CO2, H2O, and SO2. These
gases were passed through 311.2 mL of an acidified 0.0200
M KMnO4 solution, which caused the
SO2 to be oxidized to SO42-. Only
part of the available KMnO4 was reduced to
Mn2+. Next, 31.12 mL of 0.0300 M
SnCl2 was added to 31.12 mL portion of this solution,
which still...
