  17.  

     

  18. A 45.20 mL sample of sol’n containing Fe2+ ions is titrated with a 0.225M KMnO4 sol’n.  It required 23.51 mL of KMnO4 sol’n to oxidize all the Fe2+ ions to Fe3+ by the following reaction

    MnO4- (aq) + Fe2+(aq)
    Mn2+(aq) + Fe3+(aq)   

    What was the concentration of Fe2+ in the sol’n?
