    The formula mass of Mohrs salt is 392. The iron present in it is oxidised by \[\text{Kmn}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\]in acid medium. The equivalent mass of Mohrs salt is

    A)  392             

    B)  31.6

    C)  278             

    D)  156

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Mohrs salt is \[{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}.FeS{{O}_{4}}.6{{H}_{2}}O.\] The equation is: \[5F{{e}^{2+}}+MnO_{2}^{-}+8{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}\]= \[5F{{e}^{3+}}+M{{n}^{2+}}+4{{H}_{2}}O\] Total change in oxidation number of iron \[=\,(+\,3)-(+2)\] \[=+\,1\] So, equivalent wt. of Mohrs salt              \[\text{=}\frac{\text{mol}\text{.wt}\text{.of}\,\text{Mohr }\!\!\!\!\text{ s}\,\text{salt}}{\text{1}}\] \[\text{=}\frac{392}{1}\] \[=392\]
