Titration of Mohr’s Salt

Spread the love

AIM –

(a) To prepare 250ml of M/20 solution of Mohr’s salt.

(b) Using this calculate the molarity and strength of the given KMnO4 solution.

APPARATUS AND CHEMICALS REQUIRED–

Mohr’s salt, weighing bottle, weight box, volumetric ask, funnel, distilled water, chemical
balance, dilute H2SO4, beakers, conical ask, funnel, burette, pipette, clamp stand, tile,
KMnO4 solution.

(a) THEORY–

Mohr’s salt having the formula FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O has molar mass 392gmol-1. It is a
primary standard.

It’s equivalent mass is 392/1 = 392 as its n factor is 1 as per the following reaction:

      Fe2+ →  Fe3+ + e– 

PROCEDURE:

1. Weigh a clean dry bottle using a chemical balance.

2. Add 4.9g more weights to the pan containing the weights for the weighing bottle.
 3. Add Mohr’s salt in small amounts to the weighing bottle, so that the pans are balanced.
4. Remove the weighing bottle from the pan.
5. Using a funnel, transfer the Mohr’s salt to the volumetric ask. 
6. Add about 5ml. of dilute H2SO4 to the ask followed by distilled water and dissolve the
Mohr’s salt.
7. Make up the volume to the required level using distilled water.
8. The standard solution is prepared.

(b) THEORY–

1. The reaction between KMnO4 and Mohr’s salt is a redox reaction and the titration is therefore
called a redox titration.
2. Mohr’s salt is the reducing agent and KMnO4 is the oxidizing agent.
3. KMnO4 acts as an oxidizing agent in all the mediums; i.e. acidic, basic and neutral medium.
4. KMnO4 acts as the strongest oxidizing agent in the acidic medium and therefore diluted
H2SO4 is added to the conical ask before starting the titration.

 IONIC EQUATIONS INVOLVED:  

Reduction Half:    MnO4– + 8H+ + 5e–  →  Mn2+ + 4H2O

Oxidation Half:     5Fe2+  →  5Fe3+ + 5e–

Overall Equation:   MnO4– + 8H+ + 5Fe2+  → Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O

 INDICATOR– KMnO4 acts as a self-indicator.

 END POINT– Colourless to light pink (KMnO4 in the burette)

 PROCEDURE–

1.       Fill the burette with KMnO4 solution.

2.        Pipette out 10ml. of Mohr’s salt solution into the conical ask.

3.       Add half a test tube of diluted H2SO4.

4.       Keep a glazed tile under the burette and place the conical ask on it.
5.       Note down the initial reading of the burette.

6.       Run down the KMnO4 solution into the conical ask drop wise with shaking.

7.       Stop the titration when a permanent pink color is obtained in the solution.

8.       This is the end point. Note down the nal burette reading.

9.       Repeat the experiment until three concordant values are obtained.

OBSERVATION TABLE: (TO BE PUT UP ON THE BLANK SIDE USING A PENCIL)

Volume of Mohr’s salt solution taken =

S. No. Burette Readings Volume of KMNnO4

Initial Final Used (mL)

1 10 18.8 8.8

2 18.8 27.7 8.9

3 27.7 36.5 8.8

Concordant Value = 8.8mL

CALCULATIONS: (TO BE PUT UP ON THE BLANK SIDE USING A PENCIL)

Calculation of amount of Mohr’s Salt to be weighed to prepare 100ml M/20 solution:

Molecular Mass of Mohr’s Salt = 392g/mole

1000 cm3 of 1M KMnO4 require 392g Mohr’s Salt.

250 cm3 of M/40 KMnO4 require =392/40g = 4.9g

 Using formula:

N1M1V1 = N2M2V2
Where N1=5 (for KMnO4), V1=8.8mL, M1 =?

N2 =1 (for Mohr’s salt), V2 = 10ml, M2 = 1/20M

M1 = [1*(1/20)*10]/[5*8.8] = 1/88M = 0.01M

Strength = M X Molar Mass = 158 *( 1/88) = 1.79g/L

RESULT- (ON RULED SIDE)–

The Molarity of KMnO4 =  0.01M

And the strength of KMnO4 =  1.79g/L
