Solved: Iron(II) can be oxidized by an acidic K2Cr2O7
Chapter 4, Problem 95P(choose chapter or problem)
Iron(II) can be oxidized by an acidic \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) solution according to the net ionic equation:
\(\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-}+6 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+14 \mathrm{H}^{+} \stackrel{\longrightarrow}{2 \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}}+6 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+7 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
If it takes \(26.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.0250 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) to titrate \(25.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of a solution containing \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\), what is the molar concentration of \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\)?

QUESTION:
Iron(II) can be oxidized by an acidic \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) solution according to the net ionic equation:

If it takes \(26.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.0250 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) to titrate \(25.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of a solution containing \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\), what is the molar concentration of \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\)?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The goal of the problem is to find the molar concentration of \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\).
Given:
Volume of \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}=26.0 \mathrm{~mL}\)
Molarity of \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}=0.0250 \mathrm{M}\).
Given equation:
\(\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-}+6 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+14 \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}+6 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+7 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
