Oxidation-Reduction Titration
AIM: To prepare 250 ml of M/30 standard solution of F.A.S. Using this solution find out the
molarity and strength of the given KMn0a solution.

Theory:- KMnO, oxidises fe"" ions into fe"* ions in acidic medium in cold and itself reduced to
colourless Mn ions

2 KMnO+ 10 Fe S04 (NHh S0, 6H;0 +8H;504K,SOs+ 2MnS04+5 Fez(S0as +10 (NHaJh S0s+ 68
HO

Or

MnO+5 fe* + 8H Mn +5 fe*+4 H,O

Molecular Mass of KMnO4 = 158
Molecular Mass of F.A.S. = 392
Mass of required FAS for preparing 250 ml of

/30 solution =x0 3.26 gm

Apparatus:-Chemical balance, weight box, watch glass, measuring flask, funnel, burette, pipette,
conical flask, tile, burette stand etc.

Materials F.AS Crystals (Mohrs Sat), Dilute HSO, Distilled H,0, KMn0, solution.

Indicator- KMnO solution act as a self indicator.

End point- colourless to Permanent pink

6) Mass of watch glass (a) = 35.700 gm

Observation (i) Mass of mohr's salt required (b) = 3.26 gm
(ii) Mass of (a) + (b) 38.960 8gm
(iv) Volume of mohr's salt solution prepared = 250 ml
(v) Molarity of mohr's salt solution = M/30

Using formula MV 5 M,V,

M MV. 30 5x16.8 M = M/30

Ma 0.0079 M M?
V 16.8ml

(due to 2 moles of KMnO reacts with 10 moles of FAS in overall balance equation)

(B) Strength of KMnOa Solution in gm Vit = ?

molarity (M,)x molecular mass
= 0.0079 x 158

1.2482 gm /lit
Result- (1) Molarity of the given KMnO4 solution = 0.0079 M
(2) Strength of the given KMnO4 solution = 1.2482 gm/lit.

Precaution
lI the volumetric apparatus should be washed well before use.
(00) Rinse burette with the solution of KMnO4 and pipette with the solution of FAS. And
wash the titration flash with distilled H,0 after every titration
(ii) Always read the upper meniscus in case of coloured solutions.
(iv) Always use freshly prepared KMnOa as it decomposed on keeping.
(v) Excess of dilute H,50, should be add in FAS.
