NOTE: Half reactions are usually quoted as the half–cell reduction equation. Reuse half–cell or full equations in later questions from earlier questions. It is assumed you will work through them in numerical question order. If you cannot work out the redox equations, you can just download the equations so that you can at least practice the 'pure' volumetric calculation aspects of the questions.

Question 7: A standardization of potassium manganate(VII) solution yielded the following data: 0.150 g of potassium tetroxalate (tetraoxalate?), KHC2O4.H2C2O4.2H2O needed 23.2 cm3 of the manganate(VII) solution.

Question 11: Calculate x in the formula FeSO4.xH2O from the following data: 12.18 g of iron(II) sulphate crystals were made up to 500 cm3 acidified with sulphuric acid. 25.0 cm3 of this solution required 43.85 cm3 of 0.0100 mol dm–3 KMnO4 for complete oxidation.
