    This document describes an experiment to determine the molarity and strength of a potassium permanganate (KMnO4) solution by titrating it against a standard solution of ferrous ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2Fe(SO4)2∙6H2O). Potassium permanganate acts as a strong oxidizing agent in acidic solution, oxidizing ferrous ions to ferric ions. The experiment involves preparing a 0.05 M solution of ferrous ammonium sulfate and then titrating 10 mL aliquots of this solution against the KMnO4 solution until a pink color persists. The molarity and strength of the KMnO4 solution can then be calculated from the titration data

    Date Experiment No –

    Objective : Prepare a solution of M/20 Ferrous Ammonium Sulphate and using this solution find out the
    molarity and strength of the given KMnO4 .

    In the present experiment, potassium permanganate acts as a powerful oxidising agent. The
    oxidising action of KMnO4 in the acidic medium can be represented by the following equation:

    MNO4 - + 8 H + + 5 e  Mn++ + 4 H2O


    The acid used in this titration is dilute sulphuric acid. Nitric acid is not used as it is itself an oxidising
    agent and hydrochloric acid is usually avoided because it reacts with KMnO 4 according to the
    equation given below to produce chlorine and chlorine which is also an oxidising agent in the
    aqueous solution.
    2KMnO4 + 16 HCl 2KCl + 2 MnCl2 + 5Cl2 + 8 H2O
    Ferrous ammonium sulphate also acts as a reducing agent in the titration against potassium
    permanganate. The reaction which takes place is given below :

    The oxidation number of iron in Mohr’s salt is +2. Iron is oxidised during the reaction and its oxidation
    number changes from +2 to +3. In this titration heating of ferrous ammonium sulphate solution is not
    required because reaction rate is very high even at room temperature. Also, at high temperatures,
    ferrous ions may be oxidised to ferric ions by oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the
    experiment.

    .
    Procedure :

    (A) Preparation of 0.05 M, standard solution of ferrous ammonium sulphate


    (Molar mass of FeSO4(NH4)2SO4 . 6H2O = 392 g mol–1).
    Quantity of KMnO4 required :
    Mass of Mohr salt x 1000
    M = ---------------------------------------------------
    Molar mass of Mohr salt xVol of solution

    1 Mass of Mohr salt x 1000


    ---- = -------------------------------------
    20 392x250

    Mass of Mohr salt taken = 4.9000 g

    Observation :
    (a)Weight of empty watch glass = g
    (b)Weight of watch glass +Mohr salt = g
    (c)Weigth of Mohr salt taken = g

    (i) Weigh 4.9000 g of ferrous ammonium sulphate and transfer it into a 250 mL measuring flask
    through a funnel.
    (ii) Transfer the solid sticking to the funnel with the help of distilled water into the flask and add dilute
    H 2 SO4 into the flask drop wise to get the clear solution.
    (iii) Shake the flask till the substance dissolves and make the solution upto the mark.
    (B) Titration of ferrous ammonium sulphate against potassium permanganate solution
    (i) Rinse and fill the clean burette with potassium permanganate solution. Remove air bubbles if any,
    from the burette tip by releasing some solution through it.
    (ii) Take 10 mL of 0.05 M ferrous ammonium sulphate solution in a conical flask and add half test
    tube (≈5 mL) full of (1.0 M) H2SO4 to it.
    (iii) Titrate the above solution with potassium permanganate solution till the colour of the solution
    changes to permanent pink. Swirl the content of the flask during the titration.
    (iv) Repeat the titration, until three concordant readings are obtained.
    (v) Record the readings as shown in observation Table and calculate the strength of potassium
    permanganate solution in mols/litre.
