Molar mass of Mohrs salt (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2 ? 6 H2O is 392,13 g/mol
1 ml of 0,1 N = 0,02 M KMnO4  is equal O,1 M Mohrs salt
50 ml is then equal 1,96 g.
2,5 g were weight before, the ratio is then 1,96 g/2,5 g = 0,784 equal 78,4%

Please help with the question attached below:

Formula of Mohr's salt is FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O
During redox titrations, only Fe2+ oxidized to Fe3+
5 electrons  + MnO4- ----> Mn 2+
5 Fe2+------> 5Fe3+   + 5 electrons

Equivalents of MnO4 - = N * V(L) = 0.0050 = equivalents of Fe2+
Equivalent of Fe2+ are moles of Fe2+ .
Moles of Fe2+ are moles of Mohr's salt = 0.0050 moles
mass of Mohr's salt in 2.5 g of sample = 0.0050 * 392 = 1.96 g
percent purity = 1.96 g/2.5 g  X 100 %
