    Lab # 7: Standardization of Permanganate With Ferrous Salts

    Uploaded by

    Danielle
    This lab experiment involves standardizing an unknown potassium permanganate solution by titrating it against a solution of iron(II) sulfate of known molarity. The procedure involves weighing iron(II) sulfate, dissolving it and diluting to a known volume, then pipetting aliquots and titrating with the permanganate solution until a pink endpoint is reached. Calculations are done to determine the molarity and concentration in g/dm3 of the permanganate solution based on the mole ratio between the reactants. Possible sources of error discussed are human error in determining the endpoint visually and inaccuracies in weighing or pipetting volumes.

    Lab # 7: Standardization of Permanganate with Ferrous Salts

    Aim
    In this experiment you are asked to determine the concentration of a Potassium permanganate solution using the iron (II)
    salt given.

    Apparatus and Materials


    Beaker (50 cm3 and 250 cm3), burette (50 cm3), pipette (10 cm3), volumetric flask (250 cm3), Erlenmeyer flasks, analytical
    balance, top loading balance, measuring cylinder (250 cm3)
    Iron (II) sulphate, sulphuric acid solution, potassium, permanganate solution

    Procedure
    1. Weigh out 0.0102 moles of ferrous sulphate into a clean, small 50 cm3 beaker using the rough (top-loading) balance.
    2. Take this beaker and your workbook into the balance room. Weigh the beaker and the ferrous salt and record the weight
    to the nearest 0.0001g as W1.
    3. Return to your bench and gently transfer the contents of the beaker into a 250 cm3 beaker. DO NOT USE A SPATULA
    TO TRANSFER THE MATERIAL.
    4. Weigh the 50 cm3 again using the analytical balance (W2). The difference between the two weights gives the accurate
    weight of ferrous salt in your beaker.
    5. Add 50 cm3 of dilute sulphuric acid into the 250 cm3 beaker and stir into solution. Place a funnel in the neck of the
    volumetric flask.
    6. Pour the solution down the rod, into the funnel in the volumetric flask. Wash the beaker and the rod into the funnel and
    then wash the funnel into the flask.
    7. Fill the flask to just below the line, stopper it and shake well. Allow the stoppered flask to stand on the bench for a
    minute or two, remove the stopper and make up the solution to the line by cautious addition of water. Stopper and shake
    well again.
    8. Pipette three 25 cm3 aliquots of the Fe2+ solution into titration flasks; add 50 cm3of dilute sulphuric acid from a
    measuring cylinder.
    9. Rinse burette and fill with permanganate solution. Titrate each flask with permanganate solution to a faint pink,
    permanent endpoint.
