In a titration experiment, 10 mL of an FeCl2 solution consumed 25 mL of a standard K2Cr2O7 solution to reach the equivalent point. The standard K2Cr2O7 solution is prepared by dissolving 1.225 g of K2Cr2O7 in 250 mL water. The concentration of the FeCl2 solution is closest to

The correct answer is: 0.25 N

In titration at equivalence point, number of equivalents of both reactants must be same.



 N1V1=N2V2



N (normality) of FeCl2=N×V of K2Cr2O7V of FeCl2



N (normality) of K2Cr2O7= Mass ×1000 Equivalent mass × Volume of solution prepared



Equivalent mass = Molar mass n factor 



=2946



=49 g/equi.



(K2Cr2O7 as oxidising agent is reduced to 2Cr3+).



Oxidation state of 2 Cr atoms change from +6 to +3.



Total change is3×2=6, (n-factor =6)



 N (of K2Cr2O7) =1225×100049×250=0.1N



 N (of FeCl2=0.1×2510



=0.25 N
