2 NJC SH2 Preliminary Examination 9729/04/23 1 Determine the reacting mole ratio of reagent X with Fe2+ Iron(II) ions, Fe2+, are readily oxidized. Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e– A common oxidising agent for Fe2+ ions is manganate(VII) ions in an acidic medium. MnO4 – + 8H+ + 5e–  Mn2+ + 4H2O Another oxidising agent that is also able to oxidise Fe2+ to Fe3+ .is reagent X. In this experiment, a limited amount of X is added to a solution of Fe2+. The resultant mixture containing unreacted Fe(II) ions will be titrated with acidified MnO4 –. FA 1 is a solution containing 0.075 mol dm–3 iron(II) sulfate, FeSO4. FA 2 is 0.010 mol dm–3 potassium manganate(VII), KMnO4. FA 3 is 0.025 mol dm–3 of a reagent X. FA 4 is 1.0 mol dm–3 sulfuric acid, H2SO4. (a) Procedure 1. Fill a burette with FA 3 and another burette with FA 2. 2. Pipette 25.0 cm 3 of FA 1 into a conical flask and add 10 cm 3 of FA 4 using a 10.0 cm 3 measuring cylinder into the same conical flask. 3. Run 12.00 cm 3 of FA 3 from the burette into the conical flask. 4. Titrate the mixture against FA 2 until the first permanent pink colour remains in the solution. You only need to do the titration ONCE. Record your titration result in the space below. [3]
