    \[MnO_{4}^{-}\] ions are reduced in acidic condition to \[M{{n}^{2+}}\]ions whereas they are reduced in neutral condition to\[Mn{{O}_{2}}\]. The oxidation of 25 mL of a solution X containing \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]ions required in acidic condition 20 mL of a solution Y containing\[Mn{{O}_{4}}\]ions. What volume of solution Y would be required to oxidise 25 mL of a solution X containing \[F{{e}^{2+}}\] ions in neutral condition?

    A) 11.4mL                 

    B)        12.0 mL

    C) 33.3 mL                

    D)        35.0 mL

    E)  25.0 mL

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In acidic medium,\[MnO_{4}^{-}\]is reduced to\[M{{n}^{2+}}\] \[\overset{+7}{\mathop{Mn}}\,O_{4}^{-}\xrightarrow{{}}M{{n}^{2+}}\] Change in oxidation number\[=7-2=5\] Solution X            Solution Y \[{{N}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}={{N}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}\] For \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]          For \[MnO_{4}^{-}\] \[N\times 25=5\,M\times V\]         \[[\because For\,MnO_{4}^{-},N=5\,M]\] in acidic medium] \[25N=5M\times 20\] \[25N=100M\]                              ...(i) In neutral medium,\[MnO_{4}^{-}\]is reduced to\[Mn{{O}_{2}}\]                 \[\overset{+7}{\mathop{MnO_{4}^{-}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{+4}{\mathop{Mn}}\,{{O}_{2}}\] Change in oxidation number\[=7-4=3\] Solution X            Solution Y                 \[{{N}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}={{N}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}\] For \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]          For \[MnO_{4}^{-}\] \[25\times N=3\text{ }M\times V\]          [\[\because \]For\[MnO_{4}^{-},N=3M\] in neutral medium \[25N=3M\times V\]                                ...(ii) From Eqs (i) and (ii) \[100M=3M\times V\] \[V=\frac{100}{3}=33.3\,mL\]
