Answer:
a) 0.3237M of the SO₃⁻ solution.
b) Permanganate solution
c) 0.008093M
Explanation:
a) Based in the reaction, 2 moles of MnO₄⁻ react with 5 moles of SO₃⁻. Moles of permanganate used in titration are:
0.02389L×0.1355mol/L = 0.003237moles of MnO₄⁻. The moles of SO₃⁻ are:
0.003237moles of MnO₄⁻ × (5 moles of SO₃⁻ / 2 moles of MnO₄⁻) = 0.008093 moles of SO₃⁻
As volume of the solution is 25.00mL, the concentration of the solution is:
0.008093 moles of SO₃⁻ / 0.02500L = 0.3237M of the SO₃⁻ solution.
b) In a titration, the solution that is in the buret (Titrant), is the solution of known concentration, for the problem, permanganate solution
c) The moles of the Mn²⁺ solution are the same of MnO₄⁻. That is:
0.003237moles. As the volume of the new solution is 400mL, the concentration of the solution is:
[ Mn²⁺] = 0.003237moles / 0.400L = 0.008093M
