Student name: Aina’a Adeeb Tammouni Section number: 14

A/1 Write down the correct scientific name and chemical formula of reagents that have been used: (3 points)

Scientific name Chemical formula

KMNO4 Potassium permanganate

Oa Oxalic acid

Sulfuric acid
H2SO4

A/2 Write down the correct name of the glassware than have been used: (3 points)
Glassware Glassware

Erlenmeyer flask Funnel

Beaker
Graduated cylinder
Burette
Volumetric pipette

B. Data and results:

Part One: Standardization of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) with the primary oxalic acid solution
Initial = 0.4
Volume of the titrant (KMnO4) needed to reach the Final = 10.5
endpoint Endpoint=10.1ml

1. Write down a balanced chemical equation (1 point)

5H2C2O4 + 2MnO4- + 6H+ 2Mn+ + 10CO2 + 8H2O

2. State the change in color at the endpoint (1 point)

Colourless Faint pink
3. Calculate the molarity of KMnO4 solution (Show your calculations is details) (2 points)
# mol Oa = # mol KMnO4 * ( 5/ 2)

M.V = M.V ( 5/ 2)

(0.05)×(10) = M × (10.1 ) × (5 / 2)

0.5 = M × (25.25) [ KMnO4] = 0.0198 Mol / ml

Concentration of KMnO4 0.0198 Mol / ml

C. Answer the following questions::

1. The indicator that has been used: (1 point)

(KMnO4)

2. Brown color may appear during titration, due to:

(2 point)
A. Insufficient acidity

b. Reaction of KMnO4 with grease , soap or dirt

During the experiment, the rate of the reaction was enhanced by: (2 point)
By heat and addition of Sulfuric acid (H2SO4 )
