(VII) CALCULATIONS:
(a). Determination of molarity of KMnO4 solution:
A1M1V1 = A2M2V2
For KMnO4 for Mohr’s salt
–-
A2 = 1(as Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e )
V2 = 10ml
M2 = 1/20M
5*M1* V1 = 1 *1/20* 10
M1=
(you can calculate M1 by putting the value of a which you will get by
experiment/titration)
Strength= M1 X 158
Strength= g/liter
RESULT:
1. Molarity of the KMnO4 solution = M

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Always rinse the burette and pipette before use.
3. Always read the upper meniscus in the burette as KMnO4 is dark in colour.
5. Detect the endpoint when the solution gives permanent light pink colour. Don’t
keep adding the KMnO4 solution after it. Immediately note the reading of the
burette.
7. Place white tile below the conical flask so that detection of the endpoint will be
easier.
8. Continue the titration at least until three concordant readings are obtained.
11. Do not blow through the pipette to expel the last drop of solution from it
simply touch the innersurface of the titration flask with the nozzle of the pipette for
this purpose.
