24.3cm^3 of 0.02moldm-3 KMnO4 reacted with 20cm^3 of iron (II) solution. Calculate the molarity of the iron (II) solution.

Firstly calcuate the moles of KMnO4 by using the equation n=MV/1000 where n=moles M=molarity (moldm-3) and V= volume (cm3). As the question gives the molarity and volume of KMnO4 you...
