1. TITRATION OF KMnO4 SOLUTION WITH STANDARD H2C2O4 SOLUTION

Normality of the standard H2C2O4 solution, N(H2C2O4) = ______0.05N______

Volume of the standard H2C2O4 solution used, V(H2C2O4) = ___10mL_________

Trial
Burette reading (mL) Volume of KMnO4 (mL) Normality of KMnO4 (N)
#
1 16mL - 27.2mL 11.2 mL 0.044 N

2 27mL- 38.5mL 11.5mL 0.043 N

Average Normality of KMnO4 = ____0.044_____ ( N )

Comment:
 In this experiment, First we pipeted 10mL of standard oxalic acid solution into two
250mL Erlenmeyer flasks. Then , approximately 40mL of distilled water was added
to each flask. After that ,we cautiously added 20mL of o 6N H2C2O4 solution to each
flask. Warming the flasks in the water bath to 85–90 C and titrating the hot
solutions against the KMnO4 solution were done at the end. We are required to add
the KMnO4 solution very slowly initially . We had better know End point for this
experiment refers to the titrant volume needed to keep the faint pink color
throughout the stirred solution for at least twenty seconds.At the end of this step we
recorded the buret reading and calculated the normality of the KMnO4 solution.the
results are shown in the table above.
 We apply the formula to calculate normality:

Voxidizing x Noxiding = Vreducing x Nreducing
