Here is Reaction with Balance
10FeC2O4 + 6KMnO4 + 24H2SO4 ----> 3K2SO4+ 6MnSO4 + 5Fe2(SO4)3 + 24H2O + 20CO2
So we see that
6 moles of KMnO4 is required to oxidize 10 moles of FeC2O4
Then, 1 mole of FeC2O4 would be...
We have Fe3+=x and Fe2+=.93-x
then using charge balance..
3*x+2*(0.93-x)=2*1
( 1 for oxygen)
x=.14
% of Fe3+=(.14/.93)*100=15%
% of Fe2+=(.79/.93)*100=85%
Electronic configuration of Mn2+ is [Ar]18 3d5.
Electronic configuration of Fe2+ is [Ar]18 3d6.
It is known that half-filled and fully-filled orbitals are more stable. Therefore, Mn in (+2) state has a...
