1. To determine the molarity of KMNO4 solution by titrating it against a standard solution of oxalic acid. 8
2. Determination of two radicals, cation & anion from the given mixture.

3. To Prepare a double salt of ferrous ammonium sulphate (FeSO4 (NH4)2SO4.6H2O).

1. Aim:- To determine the molarity of KMNO4 solution by titrating it against a standard solution of
oxalic acid.
APPARATUS AND CHEMICALS REQUIRED- Oxalic acid, weighing bottle, weight box,
volumetric flask, funnel, distilled water, chemical balance, beakers, conical flask, funnel, burette,
pipette, clamp stand, tile, dilute H2SO4, KMnO4 solution.
Chemical equation: 2KMnO4+3H2SO4
{ (COOH)2 +[O]

K2SO4+2MnSO4 +3H2O
2CO2 +H2O } x 5

2KMnO4 +3H2SO4 +5(COOH)2

K2SO4+2MnSO4+10CO2+8H2O
IONIC EQUATIONS INVOLVED:
: 2MnO4- + 16H+ + 5C2O42- 2Mn2+ + 10CO2 + 8H2O
INDICATOR- KMnO4 acts as a self indicator.
END POINT- Colourless to light pink (KMnO4 in the burette)
PROCEDURE1. Fill the burette with KMnO4 solution.
2. Pipette out 10ml. of oxalic acid solution into the conical flask.
3. Add half a test tube of dil. H2SO4 and heat the solution to about 600C to increase the rate of
the reaction.
4. Keep a glazed tile under the burette and place the conical flask on it.
5. Note down the initial reading of the burette.
6. Run down the KMnO4 solution into the conical flask drop wise with shaking.
7. Stop the titration when a permanent pink colour is obtained in the solution.
8. This is the end point. Note down the final burette reading.
9. Repeat the experiment until three concordant values are obtained.

Concordant Value = 8.0mL

CALCULATIONS:
Using formula:
n1M1V1 = n2M2V2
Where n1=5 (for KMnO4), V1= 8.00
, M1 = ?
n2=2 (for oxalic acid), V2 = 10ml, M2 = 1/40
M1 = [2x(1/40)x10]/[5x8.00] = 0.0125M
Strength = M X Molar Mass = 158 x( 0.0125) = 1.975g/L
RESULT-- The Molarity of KMnO4 = 0.0125M,, And the strength of KMnO4 =

1.975g/L
