Volumetric Analysis – 1

AIM : To estimate the molarity and strength of the given KMnO4 solution using
M
(0.05)
20
Mohr’s salt as standard solution

Principle : Acidified KMnO4 can oxidise FeSO4 of FAs into Fe3(SO4)3. Hence known
volume of FAS is titrated against KMnO4. Here KMnO4 act as oxidizing agent and
FeSO4 as reducing agent

Chemical Reaction :
2 KMnO4  10 FeSO4 ( NH 4 )2 SO4 .6 H 2O  8H 2 SO4  K 2 SO4
 2MnSO4  5Fe2 ( SO4 )2  10( NH 4 )2 SO4  68H 2O
Ionic equation :
MnO4  8H   5e  Mn2  4 H 2O(Re du )

[ Fe2  Fe3  1e ]  5.....(oxidation)


MnO4  8H   5Fe2  Mn2  5Fe3  4 H 2O
Procedure : (i) Exactly 10 ml of 0.05M FAS is pipetted out into a clean conical flask and
about 1 test tube of full dil. H2SO4 is added
(ii) The solution of the conical flask is titrated against KMnO4 taken in the burette until a
permanent pale pink colour is obtained this is the end point of titration
(iii) The burette readings are recorded & repeated the titration for agreeing values

Observation : Burette : KMnO4 soln


Conical flask : 10 ml of 0.05 FAS + 1 test of dil. H2 SO4
Indicator : KMnO4 is self indicator
End point : Colour less to pale pink
Tabulation :

S No Volume of Burette Readings Concordant


FAS solution Initial Final Value
1 10 ml 0 9.8 9.9
2 10 ml 0 9.9
3 10 ml 0 9.9
Titrate value = 9.9
Calculation : we know that

a1(M1  V1) KMnO4  a2 (M 2  V2 ) FAS


a1 = No of electrons gained per formula unit of KMnO4 = 5
a2 = No of electrons lost per formula unit of FAS = 1
M1 = molarity of KMnO4 = ? M2 = molarity of FAS = 0.05
V1 = Volume of KMnO4 = 9.9 V2 = volume of FAS = 10
Then
1 M V 1 0.05  10
M1   2 2  
5 V1 5 10
0.5
  0.01M
49.5
Result : Molarity of given KMnO4 = 0.01 M
Strength of KMnO4 = M x GMW
0.01 x 158 = 1.58 g/L
