a 0.345 g sample of anhydrous BeC2O4, which contains an inert impurity, was dissolved in sufficient water to produce 100mL of solution. A 20.0 mL portion of the solution was titrated with KMnO4(aq). The balanced equation for the reaction is:
16H+(aq) + 2MnO4-(aq) + 5C2O4(-2charge)(aq) => 2Mn(+2charge)(aq) + 10CO2(g) + 8H2O(l)
the volume of .0150 M KMnO4(aq) required to reacht eh equivalence point was 17.80mL.
1) identify the reducing agent for the titration reaction .
2) for the titrationat the equivalence point, calculate the number of moles of each of the following that reacted:
MnO4-(aq)
C2O4(-2charge)(aq)
3) calculate the total number of moles of C2O4(-2charge)(aq) that were present in the 100.mL of prepared solution.
4)Calculate the mass percent of BeC2O4(s) in the impure 0.345g sample.
