L1 SNV Practicum N°5

Redox Titrations. Potassium Permanganate.

Introduction
Redox titration is fundamental technique in analytical chemistry used to determine the
concentration of un unknown substance by titrating it with a solution of known concentration.

Aim of the Lab

The aim is to determine the normality (N) of a solution of iron (II) sulfate (FeSO4) by redox
titration using potassium permanganate (KMnO4) as the titrant. This titration is carried out in
acidic conditions using H2SO4. It is used to prevent Fe2+ ions from oxidizing (to Fe3+)
Reminder

Oxidation and reduction


Oxidation is the loses of an electron by a molecule, atom or ion.
𝑟𝑒𝑑 ↔ 𝑜𝑥 + 𝑛 𝑒̅ (oxidation half-reaction)
Reduction is the gain of an electron by a molecule, atom or ion.
𝑜𝑥 + 𝑛 𝑒̅ ↔ 𝑟𝑒𝑑 (reduction half-reaction)
Example 1
(Fe2+ ↔ Fe3++ 1e− ) x 5 oxidation half-reaction
MnO4− + 8 H+ + 5 e− ↔ Mn2+ + 4 H2O reduction half-reaction
Combine the two half-equations given above to write the equation for the reaction:
5Fe2+ + MnO4− + 8 H+ ↔ 5 Fe3++ Mn2+ + 4 H2O Overall or Redox reaction

: is a substance that gains electrons, and thus tends to remove them


from other species.
Reducing agent or reductant: is a substance that loses electrons to another species.

Manganometry (use manganese Mn) Is one of the techniques used in quantitative analysis. It
is a redox titration involving the use of permanganates to measure the amount of analyte
(titrand) present in unknown chemical solution.
'Titrant' is the compound in the titration burette, mostly its concentration is exactly known.
'Titrand' is the substance in conical or erlenmeyer flask which is being analyzed in the
titration.

Experience procedure:

a) Place potassium permanganate (KMnO4 0,05N, oxidizing agent) in the burette using a
funnel.
b) Transfer exactly 10 ml of FeSO4 using graduated pipette in the Erlenmeyer flask and add
5 ml of sulfuric acid H2SO4 (2N) using graduated cylinder.
c) Titrate the solution contained in the Erlenmeyer flask with potassium permanganate
solution till the color of the solution changes to permanent pale pink. Swirl (stir) the
content of the flask during the titration.
d) Repeat the titration, three times

Calculation and results


To find the number of moles of Fe2+ the moles of KMnO4 that dispensed were
multiplied by 5 since there are: 5 moles of Fe2+ for every mole of KMnO4
