A 25.00 mL sample of a solution of iron(II) sulfate is titrated with a 0.0968 mol/L solution of potassium permanganate. 7.75 mL of the permanganate solution is required to reach the equivalence point. What is the concentration of the iron(II) sulfate solution? The balanced redox equation is:
MnO4- + 5Fe2++ 8H+ → Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O

The formation of metallic oxides involves the transfer of electrons from metal atoms to oxygen atoms. In the formation of one mole of which metallic oxide do the metal atoms not transfer exactly 2 moles of electrons?

Magnesium oxide

Sodium oxide

Aluminum oxide

Iron (III) oxide

An old commercial process for aluminium extraction used large quantities of sodium to convert aluminium ions into aluminium atoms. The modern aluminium extraction process uses electrolysis. Which statements are correct? In the old process:

1 The sodium acted as an oxidising agent.

2 The reaction worked because sodium is more reactive than aluminium.

In the modern process:

3 The equation for the cathode reaction is Al3+(l) + 3e– → Al(l).

4 The carbon anode needs replacing often because it is oxidised to carbon dioxide by the oxygen evolved.
