Lab Redox Titration

This document describes a redox titration experiment to determine the concentration of potassium manganate using a standardized iron(II) salt solution. The experiment involves titrating a sample of iron(II) salt solution with potassium manganate solution until a color change is observed, and using the results to calculate the concentration of the manganate solution.

Topic : Redox Reactions

Aim : To Determine the Concentration of Potassium Manganate (VII) using a


Standardized Solution of Iron (II) salts

Material : 0.05M standardized Fe (II) salt solution 250ml conical flasks


acidified potassium manganate (VII) solution distilled water
50 ml burette 25ml pipette
retort stand and clamp 250 ml beakers
filter funnel white tile

Apparatus :

burette with manganate

conical flask with iron

solution

Method: Pipette 25 ml freshly prepared iron(II) salt solution into a conical flask.

 Using a filter funnel, fill a 50ml burette with manganate solution, ensuring that there are
no air pockets at the teat. Remove filter funnel after filling . the burette.

 Place the conical flask on a white tile under the burette and titrate using the acid until
the indicator changes to a palest pink colour
 Repeat the first three parts of the method to obtain two best results.

 Write results in the table as shown below:

Calculation
Questions :

1. Calculate the average volume of manganate that completely neutralized the iron (II) salt.
2. From the molarity of the iron (II) salt given, calculate the # of moles in the sample used.
3. Given the equation below, calculate the number of moles of manganate used for the oxidation reaction.

MnO4 – (aq) + 5Fe2+ (aq) + 8H+ (aq) → Mn 2+ (aq) + 5Fe3+ (aq) +4H2O (l)

4. Calculate the concentration of the manganate in mol/dm 3


5. Define oxidizing and reducing agents.
6. Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents by using the oxidation states. Show working.
7. Explain why no indicator is necessary for this titration.

Discussion : Highlight the use of redox reactions in the body, environment and industry and
discuss the implications for health and manufacture. Look at possible errors
and how to improve this experiment.
