Calculate the percentage amount of oxalate in a given sample of oxalatesaltwhen 0.3 g of salt was dissolved in 100 mL and 10 mLof which required 8 mLof N/20 KMnO_(4)solution.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Let the AMOUNT of oxalate in the sample be x g .
Now ,
m.e of `KMnO_(4) = 1/20 xx 8 = 0.4 "" ` …(Eqn.1)
` :. ` m.e of 10 mL of oxalate salt solution = 0.4..(Eqn.2)
` :. ` m.eof 100 mL of oxalatesolution = 4.0
but m.e of oxalate = m.e of oxalate salt = 4 ...(Eqn . 7)
` :. ` equivalent of oxalate = `4/1000= (0.04) ` ....(Eqn.3)
Wt . of oxalate ` = (0.004 xx 44 ) g `
` = 0.176 g`
` {" eq. wt of " C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)= 88/2 = 44}`
Percentage amount of oxalate = `(0.176 )/(0.3) xx 100 = 58.67 ` %
