Amount of Mohr's salt oxidized is 0.75mL×0.6mol/l=0.45mol

K2Cr2O7+6FeSO4+7H2SO4K2SO4+Cr2(SO4)3+3Fe2(SO4)3+7H2O


For 6 mol of Mohr's salt 1 mol of Pottasium dichromate is required

For 0.45 mol of Mohr's salt,Pottasium dichromate required is 61×0.45=0.075mol

Mass of potassium dichromate required is 0.075×294=22.05g
