Question:

All of the chromium in a {eq}\rm 0.750 {/eq} gram sample of ore is converted to {eq}\rm K_2CrO_4 {/eq}. The {eq}\rm K_2CrO_4 {/eq} is dissolved in acid and the {eq}\rm CrO_4^{-2} (aq) {/eq} is titrated with a {eq}\rm 0.0200\ M {/eq} solution containing {eq}\rm Sn^{+2} {/eq} ions. The skeleton reaction is below.

{eq}\rm CrO_4^{-2} + Sn^{+2} \rightarrow Cr^{+2} + Sn^{+4} {/eq}

The lab technician finds that the {eq}\rm 0.750 {/eq} gram sample of ore requires {eq}\rm 13.75\ ml {/eq} of the {eq}\rm Sn^{+2}(aq) {/eq} solution to reach end-point. Complete and balance the reaction for the titration and determine the mass {eq}\% {/eq} of chromium in the ore.

Stoichiometry:

The yield information can be known by understanding the molar relationship of the yield with reactants. The entire study can be done by using the balanced chemical equation.
