Hydroxylamine reduces iron (III) according to the equation:

2NH₂OH + 4Fe³⁺ $$\to$$ N₂O(g) $$ \uparrow $$ + H₂O + 4Fe²⁺ + 4H⁺

Iron (II) thus produced is estimated by titration with a standard permanganate solution. The reaction is :

$$MnO_4^-$$ + 5Fe²⁺ + 8H⁺ $$\to$$ Mn²⁺ + 5Fe³⁺ + 4H₂O

A 10 ml sample of hydroxylamine solution was Diluted to 1 litre. 50 ml of this diluted solution was boiled with an excess of iron (III) solution. The resulting solution required 12 ml of 0.02 M KMnO₄ solution for complete oxidation of iron (II). Calculate the weight of hydroxylamine in one litre of the original solution. (H = 1, N = 14, O = 16, K =39, Mn = 55, Fe = 56)
