A 1.362 g sample of an iron ore that contained Fe3O4 was dissolved in acid with all of the iron being reduced to iron (II). The solution was acidified with sulfuric acid and titrated with 39.42 mL of 0.0281 M KMnO4, which oxidized the iron (II) to iron (III) while reducing the permanganate to manganese (II). Generate the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction. What is the mass percent of iron in this iron ore sample?

Answer:

a. MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5Fe²⁺ → 5Fe³⁺ + Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

b. 18.17% of Fe in the sample

Explanation:

a. In the reaction, Fe²⁺ is oxidized to Fe³⁺ and permanganate, MnO₄⁺ reduced to Mn²⁺, thus:

Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ + 1e⁻

MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

5 times the iron and suming the manganese reaction:

MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5Fe²⁺ → 5Fe³⁺ + 5e⁻ + Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

b. Moles of permanganate in the titration are:

0.03942L × (0.0281 moles / L) = 1.108x10⁻³ moles of MnO₄⁻

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of permanganate reacts with 5 moles of iron, if 1.108x10⁻³ moles of MnO₄⁻ reacts, moles of iron are:

1.108x10⁻³ moles of MnO₄⁻ × (5 moles Fe²⁺ / 1 mole MnO₄⁻) =

4.431x10⁻³ moles of Fe²⁺. Molar mass of Fe is 55.845g/mol. 4.431x10⁻³ moles of Fe²⁺ are:

4.431x10⁻³ moles of Fe²⁺ ₓ (55.845g / mol) =

Percent mass is:

0.2474g Fe / 1.362g sample ₓ 100 =

The mass percent of iron in the sample is 22.6%.

The net ionic equation of the reaction is;

5Fe^2+(aq) + 8H^+(aq) + MnO4^- -----> 5Fe^3+(aq) + Mn^2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

Number of moles of MnO4^- = 39.42/1000 L × 0.0281 M = 0.0011 moles

If 5 moles of Fe^2+ reacts with 1 mole of MnO4^-

x moles of Fe^2+ reacts with 0.0011 moles

x = 5 moles × 0.0011 moles/1 mole

x = 0.0055 moles

Mass of Fe^2+ = 0.0055 moles × 56 g/mol = 0.308 g

Mass percent of iron = 0.308 g/ 1.362 g × 100/1

= 22.6%
