 VJC 2020 9729/02/PRELIM/20 2 Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. 1 (a) (i) Complete the diagram to show the relative energies of all the electrons in an iron atom. [1] (ii) Write an equation for the second ionisation energy of iron. …………………………………………………………………………………………….….... [1] (iii) Explain why the second ionisation energy of iron is lower than that of chromium. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………... ……………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………..... [1] (b) A piece of rusted iron was analysed to find out how much of the iron had been oxidised to rust (also known as hydrated iron(III) oxide). A small sample of the rusted iron was dissolved in excess dilute sulfuric acid to give 250 cm3 of solution. The resultant solution contains Fe2+ and Fe3+ from iron and rust respectively. (i) 25.0 cm 3 of this solution required 16.90 cm 3 of 0.0200 mol dm 3 KMnO4 for complete oxidation of Fe2+. Calculate the amount of Fe2+ in 25.0 cm3 of the solution. 5Fe2+ + MnO4 + 8H+  5Fe3+ + Mn2+ + 4H2O [1] energy 1s 

The Fe3+ ions were then titrated with 0.100 mol dm 3 EDTA4 solution and 17.60 cm3 was required. Assuming 1 mol of EDTA4 reacts with 1 mol of Fe3+, calculate the amount of Fe3+ in 25.0 cm3 of the solution. [1] (iii) Fro
