Correct answer: 68
- Identify the reacting species
In acidic medium, potassium permanganate oxidizes ferrous ion to ferric ion. Ferrous ammonium sulphate hexahydrate is Mohr’s salt: Each formula unit provides one .
- Write the ionic redox equation in acidic medium
The standard reaction is:
For 2 molecules of , multiply by 2:
So, from the redox process itself, 8 molecules of water are formed.
- Account for water of crystallization from Mohr’s salt
To react with , we need ions, hence molecules of Mohr’s salt.
Each molecule of Mohr’s salt contains water molecules of crystallization. Thus total water contributed is:
- Total number of water molecules produced/present in products side
Including the water formed in the redox reaction and the water released from the hydrated salt:
- Final answer
The number of water molecules for molecules of is:
