Q1- A solid mixture contains iron(II) sulfate and sand.
A student determines the percentage by mass of
iron(II) sulfate in this mixture.

The student adds water to the mixture in the beaker. Iron(II) sulfate dissolves in the water
The sand does not react with or dissolve in the water.
The sand is separated from the aqueous iron(II) sulfate by filtration.
The solution in the volumetric flask is made up to 500cm3 with water. This is solution R.
(d) The student uses a pipette to place 20.0cm3 of R into a conical flask.
The student adds excess dilute sulfuric acid to the conical flask.
Solution T is 0.0200mol/dm3 potassium manganate(VII).
The student: • fills a burette with T • runs T into the conical flask until the end-point is reached.
(e) Solution T reacts with the iron(II) sulfate in the conical flask. Iron(II) sulfate is a reducing agent.
State the colour change in the conical flask at the end-point of the titration.
