Experiment No 2

This experiment involves the titration of a potassium permanganate (KMnO4) solution of unknown molarity against a standard solution of ferrous ammonium sulfate (Mohr's salt). The titration is carried out using a burette to deliver the KMnO4 solution and a pipette to measure 20 mL of the Mohr's salt solution. From the titration data and balanced redox reaction, the molarity of the KMnO4 solution is calculated to be 0.08 M, and its strength is calculated to be 1.264 g/L. Precautions for the titration include ensuring no bubbles or leaks from the burette and accurately reading the men

EXPERIMENT NO 2

TITRATION

AIM: TO PREPARE 250 ml OF M/20 SOLUTION OF FERROUS AMMONIUM SULPHATE (MOHR’S SALT).

USING THIS STANDARD SOLUTION FIND OUT THE MOLARITY AND STRENGTH OF THE GIVEN KMnO 4 SOLUTION.

MATERIALS REQUIRED: TWO BEAKERS, ONE CONICAL FLASK, BURETTE, PIPETTE, MOHR’S SALT SOLUTION (FAS),

H2SO4 OF 2M, BURETTE STAND.

THEORY:

(A) TO PREPRARE M/20 FAS SOLUTION.

MOLECULAR MASS OF FAS= 392 g

MOHR’S SALT (FAS) REQUIRED FOR M/20= MOLARITY X MOLECULAR MASS X VOLUME OF SOLUTION.

= 1/20 X 392 X 250/1000

=4.9 g

(B) REDOX TITRATION:

POTASSIUM PERMAGNATE IS A STRONG OXIDISING AGENT IN THE PRESENCE OF SULPHURIC ACID.

2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 ------→K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 3H2O +5[O]

POTASSIUM PERMAGNATE OXIDISES OXALIC ACID TO CO 2 AND FERROUS SALTS TO FERRIC SALTS IN

ACIDIC MEDIUM.

COOH-COOH + [O] -----→ 2CO2 +H2O

2FeSO4 + H2SO4 +[O] -----→ Fe2(SO4)3

INDICATOR: POTASSIUM PERMAGNATE ACTS AS SELF INDICATOR.

END POINT: END POINT IS INDICATED BY THE APPEARANCE OF PERMANENT PINKISH TINGE WITH THE

LAST SINGLE DROP OF KMnO4 SOLUTION.(KMnO4 IN BURETTE)

CHEMICAL EQUATIONS:

2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 ------→K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 3H2O +5[O]

[2FeSO4 (NH4)2SO4 .6H2O + H2SO4 + [O] -----→ Fe2(SO4)3 + 2 (NH4)2SO4 +13H2O] X5

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2KMnO4 + 8H2SO4 +10FeSO4 (NH4)2SO4 .6H2O ------→K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 5Fe2(SO4)3 + 10(NH4)2SO4 + 68H2O
IONIC EQUATIONS:

MnO4- + 8H+ +5e- -----→ Mn2+ + 4H2O

Fe2+ -----→ Fe3+ + e- ]-

-----------------------------------------------------------------

MnO4- + 8H+ + Fe2+ -----→ 5Fe3+ + Mn2+ + 4H2O

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROCEDURE:

1. RINSE THE PIPETTE WITH THE M/20 MOHR’S SALT SOLUTIONAND PIPETTE OUT 20 ML OF IT IN A WASHED
TITRATION FLASK (CONICAL FLASK).
2. RINSE AND FILL THE BUTRETTE WITH THE GIVEN KMnO4 SOLUTION.
3. ADD ONE TESTTUBE OF DILUTE H2SO4 (2M) TO THE SOLUTION IN THE TITRATION FLASK.
4. NOTE THE INITIAL READING OF THE BURETTE.
5. NOW ADD KMnO4 SOLUTION FROM THE BURETTE TILL A PERMANENT LIGHT PINK COLOUR IS OBTAINED WITH
THE LAST SINGLE DROP OF KMnO4 SOLUTION.
6. NOTE THE FINAL READING OF THE BURETTE.
7. REPEAT THE ABOVE STEPS 3-4 TIMES TO GET A SET OF 3 CONCORDANT READING.

OBSERVATIONS:

MOLARITY OF MOHR’S SALT SOLUTION =M/20

VOLUME OF MOHR’S SALT SOLUTION TAKEN FOR EACH TITRATION = 20 ml

S.NO INITIAL READING OF THE FINAL READING OF THE VOLUME OF KMnO4


BURETTE BURETTE SOLUTION USED (FINAL –
INITIAL BURETTE READING)
1 0 26 26 ml
2 0 25 25 ml
3 0 25 25 ml
4 0 25 25 ml

CONCORDANT VOLUME= 25 ml

CALCULATIONS:

FROM THE OVERALL BALANCED CHEMICAL EQUATION , 2 MOLES OF KMnO 4 REACTS WITH 10 MOLES OF FAS.

THEREFORE

(M KMnO4 X V KMnO4 ) / (M MOHR’S SALT X V MOHR’S SALT )= 2/10

(M KMnO4 X 25) /(1/20 X20) = 2/10


M KMnO4 =0.008 g/L

STRENGTH IN GRAMS/L= MOLARITY X MOLECULAR MASS OF KMnO 4.=

= 0.008 X 158 = 1.264 g/L

RESULT:

MOLARITY OF GIVEN KMnO4 SOLUTION = 0.08 Mol/ L

STRENGTH OF THE GIVEN KMnO4 SOLUTION = 1.264 g/L

PRECAUTIONS:

1. THEIR SHOULD BE NO AIR BUBBLE INSIDE THE BURETTE AND PIPETTE.


2. THEIR SHOULD BE NO LEAKAGE FROM THE BURETTE DURING TITRATION.
3. ALWAYS PLACE YOUR EYE EXACTLY IN THE LEVEL OF MENISCUS.
