c step 3 4 5???
Step 3:
To calculate moles of ethanedioate ions that reacted with the KMnO4 : Use the mol ratio from 2nd step. You find that for every 2 mol of MnO4- ions, there are 5 moles of ethanedioate ions. So :
Answer = (Mol of KMnO4/2) * 5
Step 4: You know the volume of FB3 used in the titration was 25 cm3. So molarity = mol of ethanedioate ions/volume in dm3
Volume in dm3 will be 25/1000= 0.025
Step 5: You now have the concentration in mol dm-3 from step 4. This tells you that there are x mol in 1000cm3. You have to multiply this value by 1000 to get the "total" moles. Then divide this answer by the volume of FB2 used (which should be between 42.5 and 43.0 cm3)
Step 6: From step 5 you have the number of moles per dm3. To find the amount of grams per dm3, simply multiply your answer in step 5 by the Mr, to get the mass per dm3. In this case it will be:
concentration * 126
Hope this helps
