Q.
10g sample of FeS was roasted and SO2 thus produced required 10ml of 0.15MK2Cr2O7 solution in acidic medium. Hence the % of FeS in closest integer in the sample is ............... (Fe =56,S=32 )
4FeS+7O2(g)⟶2Fe2O3+4SO2(g) Cr2O72−+2H++3SO2(g)⟶2Cr3++3SO42−+H2O
So moles of K2Cr2O7 used =0.15×10−2=1.5×10−3mol ∴ moles of SO2 in the sample =3×1.5×10−3mol = mol of FeS ∴ Mass of pure FeS in 10 gram sample =4.5×10−3×88g ≈4 ∴% of pure FeS in the sample =3.96%=4%
