In a titration experiment, $10 \,mL$ of an $FeCl _{2}$ solution consumed $25\, mL$ of a standard $K _{2} Cr _{2} O _{7}$ solution to reach the equivalent point. The standard $K _{2} Cr _{2} O _{7}$ solution is prepared by dissolving $1.225\, g$ of $K _{2} Cr _{2} O _{7}$ in $250 \,mL$ water. The concentration of the $FeCl _{2}$ solution is closest to $.....\, N$
