    The number of moles of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] that will be needed to react completely with one mole of ferrous oxalate \[Fe({{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}})\] in acidic solution is [IIT-JEE 1997; KCET 1996]

    A) 3/5

    B) 2/5

    C) 4/5

    D) 1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

      \[\underset{3M}{\mathop{3MnO_{4}^{-}}}\,+\underset{5M}{\mathop{5(F{{e}^{2+}}+{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{2-})}}\,+24{{H}^{+}}\to \]\[3M{{n}^{2}}+5F{{e}^{3+}}+10C{{O}_{2}}+12{{H}_{2}}O\] Thus 5M of \[Fe{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\] is oxidised by 3M of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] then 1M of \[Fe{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\] is oxidised by 3/5 mole of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\].
