Mohr salt is a double salt forming a single crystalline structure having the formula | (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2.6H20. }Unt chemical name for Mohr's salt is ferrous ammonium sulfate.In this titration Mohr salt acts as a reducing agent and potassium permanganate acts as an oxidising agent. So, the reaction between Mohr’s salt and potassium permanganate is a redox reaction. In this redox reaction, ferrous en from Mohr's salt gets oxidised to Fe 4nd pink coloured of manganese present in potassium permanganate, which is is in the( Mn) oxidation state gets reduced to alae The ionic equation involved in the process is given below.

Lower Upper meniscus meniscus Transparent Colored or liquid non- transparent liquid Why is dil.sulfuric acid suitable for permanganate titration? KMn04 acts as a good oxidising agent in acidic medium. If acid is not used KMn04 may be oxidised to MnO2 giving a brown precipitate.Why is dil. Hydrochloric_acid NOT suitable for permanganate titration? 2KMn04+16HCI | 2MnCl2+2KCI+8H20+5Cl21 As KMn04 is strong & oxidant It oxidised HCl used to Cl2 gas evolved as above equation + calculated average volume used in titration not accurate, as some of KIVinO4 is used in oxidation process of HCl What is the standard solution? A standard solution is a solution whose concentration is known. The normality and molarity of the solution is known Best wishes @W love all guy's B Royal society of chemistry With Dr saif soliman
