In the titration of ferrous oxalate (FeC₂O₄) against potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇), a redox reaction occurs where Fe²⁺ is oxidized and Cr₂O₇²⁻ is reduced. To analyze the equivalents involved, we can define:

  • X: m equivalents of Fe²⁺
  • Y: m equivalents of C₂O₄²⁻
  • Z: m equivalents of Cr₂O₇²⁻

In this reaction, one mole of Cr₂O₇²⁻ reacts with six moles of electrons, while ferrous ions (Fe²⁺) and oxalate ions (C₂O₄²⁻) participate in the reaction as well. The stoichiometry of the reaction shows that:

X + 2Y = Z

This means that for every mole of Cr₂O₇²⁻, two moles of oxalate ions are consumed, while one mole of Fe²⁺ is oxidized. Therefore, the correct relationship among the equivalents is:

Answer: (C) X + 2Y = Z
