Consider the amount of acidified KMnOX4 (to MnX2+) consumed by 0.1 mol of each of FeSOX4, HX2CX2OX4, FeCX2OX4 and HX2OX2 (oxidised to FeX3+, COX2, FeX3+ + COX2 and OX2 respectively). Select the correct statement(s).
AFeCX2OX4 consumes three times as much KMnOX4 as FeSOX4
BHX2CX2OX4 and HX2OX2 consume equal amounts
CFeSOX4 and HX2CX2OX4 consume equal amounts
DA mixture of all four (0.1 mol each) consumes 0.16 mol of KMnOX4
Answer: A, B, D
Equivalents (0.1 mol each): FeSOX4 0.1, HX2CX2OX4 0.2, FeCX2OX4 0.3, HX2OX2 0.2. So A and B are true and C is false. Total =0.8 eq, so KMnOX4=0.8/5=0.16 mol (D true).
