Kmno4 Vs Mohrs Salt M 10

PRACTICAL
Grade : XII CHEMISTRY

Expt . No: 1 Determination of concentration of KMnO4 solution (KMnO4 Vs Mohr’s salt)
Aim :
To prepare M/10 solution of Mohr’s salt and, using this solution find out the molarity and strength
of the given potassium permanganate (KMnO4) solution.
Theory :
Redox titrations are those titrations in which a reducing agent is titrated against the oxidising agent
or oxidising agent is titrated against a reducing agent. Mohr’s salt titration with potassium permanganate is
also a redox titration. In this titration, Mohr’s salt acts as a reducing agent and potassium permanganate
works as the oxidising agent. So, the reaction between Mohr’s salt and KMnO4 is a redox reaction in which
oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. Potassium permanganate acts as the oxidising agent in
all mediums, such as neutral, acidic and basic, but it acts as the strongest oxidising agent in the acidic
medium. That’s why the small quantity of diluted sulfuric acid is added to the conical flask before adding
Mohr’s salt for titration.
Molecular Equations:
Reduction Half Reaction :
2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 3H2O + 5[O]
Oxidation half reaction :
[2FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.6H2O + H2SO4 + [O] → Fe2(SO4)3 + 2(NH4)2SO4 + 13H2O] x 5
Overall reaction :
2KMnO4 + 10FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.6H2O+ 8H2SO4 → K2SO4+ 2MnSO4+ 5Fe2(SO4)3+ 10(NH4)2SO4+ 68H2O
The ionic equation involved in the process is given below.
Oxidation half reaction : [Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e–] x5
Reduction half reaction : MnO4– + 8H+ + 5e– → Mn2+ + 4H2O
Overall ionic equation :MnO4– + 8H+ + 5Fe2+ → Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O
Potassium permanganate acts as a self-indicator in this titration. The appearance of the endpoint can be
detected by the colour change of KMnO4 from colourless to light pink.
Materials Required :
weighing bottle, weight box, volumetric flask, conical flask, burette, pipette, clamp stand, chemical
balance, beakers, burette stand, funnel, measuring flask, white tile, burnet and wire gauge.

Chemicals Required :
distilled water, dilute sulphuric acid, potassium permanganate solution.
Procedure:
1. Wash the pipette and the burette with distilled water and then rinse it with the corresponding solution
which needs to be filled in them.
2. Rinse the burette with potassium permanganate solution and then fill the 50 ml potassium
permanganate solution in it.
3. Rinse the pipette as well as the conical flask with mohr salt which is also known as ferrous sulfate
solution.
4. Take out 20 ml of standard more mohr salt solution in the conical flask.
5. Add 20ml full of sulfuric acid so as to prevent the oxidation of manganese to form manganese
dioxide.
6. Take the initial reading of the burette before starting that experiment.
7. Now against the potassium permanganate solution start the titration and slowly still the flask gently.
8. Initially, the purple colour of KMnO4 will be discharged with ferrous ammonium sulfate. The
appearance of the permanent pink colour indicates the endpoint. Repeat the experiment unless 3
Concordant value is obtained.
