    (1) The document summarizes an experiment involving the oxidation of potassium oxalate by potassium permanganate to determine the percent purity of an unknown oxalate sample. (2) Half reactions and the balanced reaction for the experiment are provided. An indicator was not used because the excess permanganate causes a color change, acting as an indicator itself. (3) Calculations were shown to determine the percent of potassium oxalate in the unknown sample based on three trials, finding an average of 39.3% with a relative average deviation of 7.29%.

    Exp. 4 Report Sheet (Oxidation Reduction Titration)


    Due Date: 24.11.21 23:59
    (10 pts) Purpose:
    The aim of this experiment is to state percent purity of an unknown oxalate sample and getting
    familiar with the titration in redox reactions by doing an experiment with oxidation of potassium
    oxalate by potassium permanganate.
    (30 pts) Experimental:
    (10 pts) Write half reactions in this reaction.

    (10 pts) Write the balanced reaction that is applied in this experiment?

    (10 pts) Why an indicator is not used in the experiment? Explain.


    In this experiment, excess amount of permanganate cause color change from colorless to pink to there
    is no need to use indicator. In other word, the excess amount of permanganate act as a indicator.
    (40 pts) Calculation:
    Calculate the percent of sodium oxalate in the unknown sample (Measured values given at below
    chart).

    Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3


    Mass of unknown, g 0.8237 0.7734 0.7992
    Volume of KMnO4 solution, mL 13.0 14.0 12.0
    Mass of K2C2O4 in unknown, g 0.313 0.337 0.290
    Percent of K2C2O4 in unknown 38.0% 43.6% 36.3%
    Average Percent of K2C2O4 in unknown 39.3%
    Relative Average Deviation 7.29%
    * Molarity of Standardized KMnO4 = 0.058 M
    **Molecular Weight K2C2O4 = 166.22 g/mol
    (20 pts) Conclusion:
    (10 pts) According to your Relative Average Deviation, is your result precise? Explain.
    The value of Relative Average Deviation (RAD) is 7.9% and it represents the uncertainty in the
    measurements so Average percent of K2C2O4 is not precisely 39.3%, but ranges from 31.4% to 47.2%.
    (10 pts) If unknown sample contains exactly 41.00% K2C2O4, is your result accurate? Explain.
    Accuracy means the closeness of the value that obtained
    from the experiment to the real value. By the data that
    obtained from the experiment, it can be said that the
    accuracy of the first trial is 92.7%, for the second trial
    93.7%, for the third trial 88.5%, and lastly for the average
    percent of K2C2O4 in unknown solution is 95.9%. If the error
    rate and RAD value of the experiment compared, the error rate
    is smaller than the RAD value so there is no serious systematic
    error that needs to be fixed.
