Re: Equivalent based questions (Valency Factors)
Develop the redox equation. Then you can see the ratio of the moles easily.
Hint acidic medium means, if oxygen will be transferred.
Oxidation add H2O and get H+
Reduction add H+ and get H2O
Oxalate will get CO2

Re: Equivalent based questions (Valency Factors)
Answer to a) Redox equation is K2Cr2O7 + 6Na2C2O4 + 14H^+ → 12CO2 + 2Cr + 2K^+ + 12Na^+ + 7H2O
From the aforesaid redox equation, we can say that to oxidize 6 moles of Na2C2O4 (Sodium Oxalate), one mole of Potassium Dichromate (K2Cr2O7) is required. So, for 0.3M Sodium Oxalate 0.05 M Potassium Dichromate is required. We have 0.2 M K2Cr2O7 solution.
Molar Mass of Potassium Dichromate is 294.181 grams. To oxidize 50 ml of 0.3 M Na2C2O4, we require \(\frac{14.70905}{58.8362}\times \frac{50 ml }{1000 ml}= 12.5 ml\) of 0.2 M Potassium Dichromate.
Answer to b) Redox equation is 2KMnO4 + 5 K2C2O4 + 16 H^+ → 10CO2 + 8H2O + 12 K^+ + 2Mn^2+
From the above redox equation, we can say that to oxidize 5 moles of K2C2O4(Potassium Oxalate), 2 moles of Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) are required. So for 1 mole of K2C2O4 , \(\frac25\) mole of KMnO4 is required.
Answer to c) Redox equation is 2KMnO4 + 5 FeC2O4 + 16 H^+ →10 CO2 + 8 H2O + 2 K^+ + 2 Mn^2+ + 2 Fe^2+
From the aforesaid redox equation, we can say that to oxidize 5 moles of Ferrous Oxalate(FeC2O4), 2 moles of KMnO4 (Potassium Permanganate) are required . So for 0.3 M of FeC2O4 , 0.12 M KMnO4 is required. But we have 0.1M of KMnO4. Molar mass of KMnO4 is 158.032 grams . So we require to oxidize 100 ml of 0.3 M of FeC2O4, 120 ml of 0.1 M of KMnO4.
Answer to d)5 moles of ferrous Oxalate (FeC2O4) are required to reduce 2 moles of Potassium Permanganate in acidic medium.
Answer to e) Redox equation is K2Cr2O7 + 3Cu2S + 14 H^+ → 6Cu^2+ + 3S + 7 H2O + 2K^+ + 2 Cr
So we can say that \(\frac56\) moles of K2Cr2O7 is required to react completely with 2.5 moles of Cu2S in acidic medium

Answer to e) Redox equation is K2Cr2O7 + 3Cu2S + 14 H^+ → 6Cu^2+ + 3S + 7 H2O + 2K^+ + 2 Cr
So we can say that \(\frac56\) moles of K2Cr2O7 is required to react completely with 2.5 moles of Cu2S in acidic medium

Re: Equivalent based questions (Valency Factors)
I think my answer to a) is wrong. Your answer 75 ml of K2Cr2O7 is correct.
But I have another answer as well
2) Using this formula v.f.1 × M1 × volume1= v.f.2× M2 × volume2
Plugging in the values available with us into this formula, we have 6×0.2M× V1=2×0.3M × 50 ml
= 25 ml of Potassium Dichromate
What is wrong with this answer?

Re: Equivalent based questions (Valency Factors)
No your answer is correct
Ratio is 1 K2Cr2O7 to 6 Na2C2O4
We have 50 ml 0.3 M Na2C2O4 what is 15 mmol
So we need 1/6 of 15 mmol = 2,5 mmol K2Cr2O7
The molarity is 0,2 M so we need 2,5mmol/0,2 mmol/ml = 12,5 ml

Your question
Where does the 2 comes from, it is the same like my equation above without 2we have 6×0.2M× V1=2×0.3M × 50 ml
