JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 28th June Morning Shift - No. 14)
A 2.0 g sample containing MnO2 is treated with HCl liberating Cl2. The Cl2 gas is passed into a solution of KI and 60.0 mL of 0.1 M Na2S2O3 is required to titrate the liberated iodine. The percentage of MnO2 in the sample is _____________. (Nearest integer)
[Atomic masses (in u) Mn = 55; Cl = 35.5; O = 16, I = 127, Na = 23, K = 39, S = 32]
Explanation
First Step :
MnO2 + 4HCl $$\to$$ MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O
Here 1 mol of MnO2 produce 1 mol of Cl2
$$\therefore$$ Mole ratio of $${n_{Mn{O_2}}}:{n_{C{l_2}}} = 1:1$$
Second Step :
Cl2 + 2KI $$\to$$ 2KCl + I2
Here, 1 mol of Cl2 produce 1 mol of I2
Mole ratio of $${n_{C{l_2}}}:{n_{{I_2}}} = 1:1$$
Third Step :
I2 + 2Na2S2O3 $$\to$$ 2NaI + Na2S2O3
1 mol of I2 react with 2 mol of Na2S2O3
Mole ratio of $${n_{{I_2}}}:{n_{{N_2}{S_2}{O_3}}} = 1:2$$
Given Na2S2O3 is 60 mL of 0.1 M
$$\therefore$$ Number of moles of Na2S2O3
= V (in L) $$\times$$ M (Molarity)
= $${{60} \over {1000}} \times 0.1$$
= 0.006 mol
$$\therefore$$ Number of moles of I2
$$ = {1 \over 2}(0.006)$$
= 0.003
$$\therefore$$ Moles of MnO2 = 0.003 (as mole ratio of MnO2 and Cl2 = 1 : 1)
Molar mass of MnO2 = 55 + 32 = 87
$$\therefore$$ Mass of MnO2 = 0.003 $$\times$$ 87 = 0.261 gm
Given MnO2 = 2g
$$\therefore$$ % of MnO2 = $${{0.261} \over 2} \times 100 = 13\% $$
