 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Project is something which measures various aspects of
student life and the attitude of the student. This is an
experience and success to develop a project with
requirements which can’t be attained by one self but with
the group of kind hearts behind
At the outset i am thankful to almighty for his sustained
blessings and mercy through the entire work.
I express deep gratitude to my guide mr. Debasish
mohanti for his kind help and support throughout the whole
work. I would like to thank the faculty members and our
principal mrs. Padmini tudu for providing us such an
environment to develop this project. At last but not the least
i must thank my parents and my friends for their
cooperation and valuable suggestion.

AIM OF THE PROJECT

 To analyze the presence of
oxalate ion in guava fruit and to
measure its strength

Theory
Guava is a sweet juice and light or dark
green coloured fruit. It is cultivated in all the
parts of india. When ripe it acquires yellow
colour and it has a penetrating strong scent.
The fruit is rich in VITAMIN C and other
minerals. It is a rich source of owolate ion and
its contents varies with different stage of
ripening.
Oxolate ions are extravted from the guava
fruit by boiling pulp with dilute H2SO4. Then
oxalate ions are estimated volumetrically by
titrating the solution with standard KMnO4

solution.

MATERIALS REQUIRED
  100ml measuring flask
 Mortar and pestle
 Beaker
 Titrating flask
 Funnel
 Burette
 Weight box
 Pipette
 Filter paper
 Dilute H2SO4
 N/20 KMnO4
 Guava fruit of different stage of
ripening

Ka PRECAUTION
 50gm guava is weighted carefully
 Guava of different days is to be taken
 Mixture is heated up to 60 degree C
 The content should not be boiled more
then the requirement
 Keep yourself safe from the fire

PROCEDURE
  50gm of fresh guava is weighted and crushed
into a fine pulp bu using mortar and pestle.
 The crushed pulp is transferred to a beaker
and 50ml od dilute H2SO4 is added to it.
 The content is boiled for about 10minutes
 The content is cooleed and filtered in 100ml
by adding distilled water.
 20ml of the solution is taken from the
measuring flask to a titration flask and 20ml of
dilute H2SO4 is added to it. It is heated to about
60degree C and titrated against N/20 KMnO4
solution taken in a burtte. The end point is
observed in a appearance of light pink in
colour.
 The experiment is repeated with 50gm of
1,2,3 days old guava fruit.

o BSERVATION

Weight of guava fruit taken each time=50gm

Volume of guava extract taken each titration=20ml
Normality of KMnO4 solution= 1/20gmeq./mol

EXTRACT BURETTE CONCORDANCE
READING OF N/20 KMnO4

DAY 1 0 75.5

DAY 2 0 76.9

DAY 3 0 77.5

CALCULATION
We know that N1 V1 = N2 V2
Strength= normality * Equivalent mass
N1 = Normality of oxolate
N2 = Normality of KMnO = 1/20
V1 = Volume of oxolate = 20ml
V2 = Volume of KMnO
FOR DAY 1
N1 X2O = 1/20X75.5
N1 = 75.5/400 = 0.18875
Strength of oxolate = 0.18875x44=8.305
FOR DAY 2
N1 X2O = 1/20X76.9
N1 = 76.9/400 = 0.19225
Strength of oxolate = 0.19225x44=8.459
FOR DAY 3
N1 X2O = 1/20X77.5
N1 = 77.5/400 = 0.9375
Strength of oxolate = 0.19375x44=8.525
