    EXPERIMENT NO 1

    Aim:
    To determine the strength of potassium permanganate by titrating it against the standard solution of
    0.1M oxalic acid.

    Theory:
    The chemical reaction at room temperature is given below.

    Reduction Half reaction:- 2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 3H2O + 5[O]

    Oxidation Half reaction:- 5(COOH)2 + 5[O] → 5H2O + 10CO2↑

    The overall reaction takes place in the process is

    Overall reaction:- 2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 + 5(COOH)2 → K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 8H2O + 10CO2↑

    Materials Required:
    1. Oxalic acid
    2. Potassium permanganate solution
    3. 1.0M sulfuric acid
    4. Chemical balance
    5. Burette
    6. Burette stand
    7. Pipette
    8. Conical flask
    9. Funnel
    10. Measuring flask
    11. Weighing bottle
    12. White tile
    13. Burnet
    14. Wire gauze

    Apparatus Setup:
    1. In burette – KMnO4 solution
    2. In Conical flask – 10ml of oxalic acid + Sulfuric acid
    3. Indicator – Self indicator (KMnO4)
    4. End Point – Appearance of permanent pale pink colour.
    PART A
    (a) Preparation of 0.1M standard solution of oxalic acid:

    The quantity of oxalic acid required for the 100 ml of the solution having a molarity 0.1M can be
    calculated as follows.

    X = 0.1/1000 * 100* 126=1.26 g

    For the preparation of 100 ml of M/10 oxalic acid solution amount of oxalic acid required = 1.26 g

    1. Weigh an empty watch glass using a chemical balance.


    2. Weigh 1.26g of oxalic acid accurately in the watch glass.
    3. With the help of a funnel transfer the oxalic acid into the measuring flask.
    4. Now wash the funnel with distilled water without removing the funnel from the flask.
    5. Make the solution up to the marked point (100 ml) with distilled water and make sure the
    oxalic acid is fully dissolved.
    6. This solution is 0.1M standard solution of oxalic acid.

    PART B

    (b) Titration of potassium permanganate solution against standard oxalic acid solution:

    Observation:
    Self Indicator: Colorless to pink
    Pilot Reading: __________ ml

    Observations:
    1. KMnO4 act as self indicator
    2. End Point changes from colorless to pink
    3. Pilot reading :

    S.No Volume of Oxalic acid Burette Reading Volume of


    . KmnO4
    Initial Final
    Calculations:
    To calculate the strength of given KMnO4 in terms of molarity the following formula is used

    a1M1V1 = a2M2V2

    Where a1 and a2 are stoichiometric coefficient of oxalic acid and KMnO4 in a balanced chemical
    equation.

    a1 = 2

    a2 = 5

    Where

    M2 and M1 are molarities of potassium permanganate and oxalic acid solutions used in the titration.

    V2 and V1 are the volume of potassium permanganate and oxalic acid solutions used in the titration.

    Therefore,

    KMnO4 = Oxalic acid

    5M2V2 = 2M1V1

    M2 = (2M1V1/5M2V2)

    The strength of KMnO4 is calculated by using the molarity.

    Strength = Molarity x Molar mass

    Results and Discussion:


    1. Molarity of KMnO4 is ______
    2. The Strength of KMnO4 is _____M.

    Precautions:
    1. Clean all the apparatus with distilled water before starting the experiment and then rise with
    the solution to be taken in them.
    2. Rinse the pipette and burette before use.
    3. Potassium permanganate is dark in colour, so always read the upper meniscus.
    4. Use dilute sulfuric acid for acidifying the potassium permanganate.
    5. Take accurate readings once it reaches the end point and don’t go with average readings.
    6. Use antiparallex card or autoparallex card while taking the burette readings.
    7. Do not use rubber cork burette as it is can be attacked by KMnO4.
