Aim:
To estimate the strength (in g/L) of potassium permanganate solution by titrating against 0.05 N standard
ferrous ammonium sulfate solution.
Theory:
Ferrous ammonium sulfate or Mohr's Salt Fe(SO4)2(NH4)26H2O is a stable double salt of ammonium sulfate
and ferrous sulfate. Its active constituent is ferrous sulfate which is oxidized to ferric sulfate by KMnO4 in
presence of dil.H2SO4 at room temperature.
At the end point permanent light pink color is developed in the solution.
Procedure:
Observation table:
1. 10
2. 10
3. 10
Calculations:
N1V1 = N2V2
V1 = 10ml N2 = ……….
Strength (g/L) of unknown KMnO4 solution = Normality (N2) × equivalent weight (31.6)
Result:
