Question

An excess of NaOH was added to 100 ml of a ferric chloride solution. This caused the precipitation of 1.425 g of Fe(OH)3. The normality of the ferric chloride solution is :
  1. 0.20 N
  2. 0.50 N
  3. 0.25 N
  4. 0.40 N

A
0.40 N
B
0.20 N
C
0.25 N
D
0.50 N
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The balanced equation governing this reaction is:
3NaOH+FeCl33NaCl+Fe(OH)3

Molecular wt. of Fe(OH)3 is 56+(16+1)×3=107 g/mol

Thus no. of moles of Fe(OH)3 precipitated=1.425/107=0.01332 moles

No. of moles of FeCl3 initially present (a/c to balanced eqn.) =0.01332 moles

No. of equivalents of FeCl3 initailly present =no.ofmoles×valency=0.01332×3=0.0399

Normality of FeCl3 solution=No. of equivalentsVol. of sol. in litres

=0.03990.1

=0.399N0.40N

Thus the correct option is (d).
