Estimation of iron content in the given water sample by redox titration

Theory: In this experiment we use a standard solution of potassium dichromate

(K2Cr2O7) to estimate the iron (as Fe2+) content in the given sample water. The
estimation is based on the oxidation of ferrous iron to ferric iron by potassium
dichromate in the acid medium.
Acidic K2Cr2O7 is a strong oxidizing agent. When it is added in the Mohr’s salt
(Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2) solution containing dil. H2SO4, only FeSO4 gets oxidized, while
(NH4)2SO4 remains unchanged.
The reactions take places are as follows:

or

dichromate is oxidizing and ferrous salt is reducing agents.

In this redox reaction there is no prominent color change to indicate the end point of
the titration. Thus, N-phenylanthranilic acid is used as an indicator here.
Normality of K2Cr2O7 = strength / Eq. wt = N2

Normality of Mohr salt

= 56 x N1 x 1000 mg of iron
= 56 x N1 x 1000 ppm of iron
