Solutions of iron(III) sulfate are used in dyeing as a mordant, and as a coagulant for industrial wastes. FA 1 is hydrated iron(III) sulfate with formula Fe2(SO4)3.nH2O. The addition of excess zinc to a solution of FA 1 reduces the Fe3+ ions to Fe2+ ions. The amount of Fe2+ ions can be determined quantitatively by titration against a standard solution of potassium manganate(VII), KMnO4. The reaction is shown below. 5Fe2+ + MnO4- + 8H+ ® 5Fe3+ + Mn2+ + 4H2O In this experiment, you are to prepare a standard solution using FA 1 and perform titrations to determine the value of n, the water of crystallisation in FA 1. You are provided with FA 2, dilute sulfuric acid, FA 3, 0.0200 mol dm-3 potassium manganate(VII), KMnO4, zinc powder. (a) Preparation of standard solution of hydrated iron(III) salt 1. Weigh accurately about 6.5 g of the FA 1 provided using the weighing bottle. Transfer all the solid into a 250 cm3 beaker. Determine the mass of solid FA 1 used and record all your weighings, to an appropriate level of precision, in the space below. Mass of empty weighing bottle / g 4.78 Mass of weighing bottle and FA 1 / g 11.28 Mass of weighing bottle and residual FA 1 / g 4.78 Mass of FA 1 used
