Titration Experiments
1. C-10 is a solution containing 3.20 g of potassium manganate (VIl)KMnO, Per itre of the
solution.
2. C-11 is a solution containing 6.30 g oxalic acidcrystals (H,C,0, xH,0) per litre of the
solution.
Procedure
Rinse and fillthe burette with C-10 solution of potassium manganate (VII). Pipette out 20 mlor
25 ml of the solution C-11 of oxalic acid in a clean conical flask. To this add 20 ml of dilute sulphuric
acid (C-12) specially provided for titration. Warm the contents to about 60°C, (till the bubbles appear
at the bottom of the flask).
Now titrate the contents in hot condition by dropping C-10 solution from the burette till the
permanent light pink colour to the C-11 solution in the titration or conical flask appears.

18x =37.504
X= 2.08 2
Hence, the molecular formula of hydrated oxalic acid is H,Cz04- 2H,0.
You are provided tvwo solutions:
2. C-11 is a solution containing 6.50 g of hydrated oxalic acid (H,C,0, 2H,0) per litre of the
solution.
Procedure
Rinse and fill the burette with C-10 solucion. Pipette out 20 ml or 25 ml of C-11 solurion of oxalic
acid in a clean conical flask. To this add 20 ml of dilute sulphuric acid (C-12) specially provided for
titration. Warm the contents between 50-60°C (till some bubbles are seen at the bottom of the conical
flask).
Now titrate the hot solution by dropping C-10 solution from the burette to it rill a permanent
light pink colour to the C-1l solution in the conical flask appears.
Repeat the aboveprocedure to get two concordant readings.
The following equation can be written forthe above reaction:
