Therefore,Weight of Mohr’s salt required = 1.96g per 100ml

• Using an electronic balance weigh exactly 1.96g of Mohr’s salt crystals in a watch glass.
• Transfer these into a 100ml standard flask.
• Add 5ml conc.H2SO4 into the standard flask.

OBSERVATION TABLE:

S.No. Volume of Mohr’s salt Burette Readings Volume of

solution used for each KMnO4 used
titration (ml) (ml)
Initial Readings (ml) Final Readings(ml)
1 10 0.0 11.0 11.0
2 10 11.0 20.6 9.6
3 10 20.6 30.2 9.6
Concordant reading = 9.6 ml

Calculations
The strength of unknown solution in terms of molarity may be determined by the following equation :
n1M1V1 = n2M2V2
(Mohr’s salt) (KMnO4)
M1 and M2 are the molarities of Mohr’s salt and potassium permanganate solutions and V1 and V2 are
volumes of ferrous ammonium sulphate and potassium permanganate solutions, respectively.
n1 = 1, (the number of electrons lost per formula unit of ferrous ammonium sulphate in the half cell
reaction)
n2 = 5, (the number of electrons gained per formula unit of potassium permanganate in a half cell
reaction)

M2 =( n1M1V1 ) /( n2V2) = (1x 0.05 x 10 ) /( 5x9.6)= 0.0104 mol/L

Strength can be calculated by the formula given below :
Strength = Molarity X Molar mass = M2 X 158 = 0.0104 X 158= 1.645 g/L

RESULT:
The molarity of the given KMnO4 is 0.0104 mol/L
The strength of the given KMnO4 is 1.645 g/L g/l

AIM: prepare 100ml of M/50 standard Mohr’s salt solution. Use this solution to determine the
molarity and strength of KMnO4 solution by titrating it against standard solution of Mohr’s
salt.
