Although KMn0O, acts as an oxidizing agent in alkaline medium also, for quantitative analysis mostly acidic medium is used. The oxidizing action of KMnO, in the acidic medium can be represented by the following equation : MnO, ~ + 8H* + Se~ > Mn?* + 4H,0 The acid used in this titration is dilute Sulphuric acid. Nitric acid is not used as it is itself an oxidizing agent and hydrochloric acid is usually avoided because it reacts with KMnO, according to the equation given below to produce chlorine and chlorine which is also an oxidizing agent in the aqueous solution. 2KMn0O, + 16HCI > 2KCl + 2MnCl, + SCI, + 8H,0 Since, oxalic acid acts as a reducing agent, it can be titrated against potassium permanganate in the acidic medium according to the following equation — Reactions of Oxalic acid ( 5 A. Chemical Equations Reduction half reaction : 2KMnO, + 3H,SO, > K,SO, + 2MnSO, + 3H,0 + 5[O] Oxidation half reaction : H,C,04 + [O] > 2CO, + H,0] x 5 2KMn0O, + 3H,SO, + 5H,C,O, > K,SO, + 2MnSO, + 8H,O + 10CO, B. lonic Equations Reduction half Reaction : MnO, + 5e + 8H* > Mn**+ 4H,O]x 2 Oxidation half Rection : C,0,2 > 2CO, + 2e]x 5 2MnO, + 5C,0,7 + 16H* > 2Mn**+ 10CO, + 8H,0 In these equations, MnO, ~ is reduced to Mn?* and C,0,?" is oxidized to CO,. The oxidat! number of carbon in C,0,?- changes from +3 to +4. In these titrations, potassium permanganate acts as a self indicator. Initially color of potassium permanganate is discharged due to its reduction by oxalic acid. After complete consumption of oxalate ions, the end point is indicated by the appearance of a light pink color produced by the addition of a little excess of unreacted potassium permanganate. Further, during the titration of oxalic acid against potassium permanganate, warming of oxalic acid solution (50°-60°C) along with dilute H,SO, is required. This is essential because the reaction takes place at higher temperature. During the titration, first manganous sulphate is formed which acts as a catalyst for the reduction of KMnO, by oxalic acid. Therefore, in the beginning the reaction rate is slow and as the reaction proceeds, the rate of the reaction increases. Procedure ( 7 ) A. Preparation of 0.1 M standard solution of oxalic acid Prepare 0.05M oxalic acid solution. B. Titration of oxalic acid solution against potassium permanganate solution (i) Rinse and fill a clean burette with potassium permanganate solution. Remove the air bubble, if any, from the nozzle of the burette by releasing some solution through it. The burette used in the permanganate titration must have a glass stop cock as rubber is attacked by permanganate ions. (ii) Take 10 mL of 0.05 M oxalic acid solution in a conical flask and add half of the test tube full (= 5 mL) of 1.0 M H,SO, to it to prevent the formation of any precipitate of manganese dioxide during the course of the titration. (iii) Heat the oxalic acid solution upto 50°— 60°C before titrating it with potassium permanganate solution taken in the burette. To increase the visibility of the color change, place the conical flask containing the solution to be titrated over a white glazed tile kept below the nozzle of the vertically fitted burette. (iv) Note the initial reading of the volume of permanganate solution in the burette and add it in small volumes to the hot oxalic acid solution while swirling the contents of the flask gently. The violet color of permanganate solution is discharged on reaction with oxalic acid. The end point is indicated by the appearance of permanent light pink color due to a s 8 excess of permanganate solution. (v) Repeat the titration till three concordant readings are obtained. Since the solution of KMnO, is of dark color, the upper meniscus should be considered for noting the burette readings. (vi) Record the readings and calculate the strength of potassium permanganate solution in mols/litre.

(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (8) (h) (i) (i) (k) Precautions :- (a3) Always rinse the burette and the pipette with the solutions to be taken in them. Never rinse the conical flask with the experimental solutions. Remove the air gaps if any, from the burette. Never forget to remove the funnel from the burette before noting the initial reading of the burette. No drop of the liquid should hang at the tip of the burette at the end point and while noting reading. Always read the upper meniscus for recording the burette reading in the case of all coloured solutions. Never use pipette and burette with a broken nozzle. Lower end of the pipette should always remain dipped in the liquid while sucking the liquid. Do not blow out the last drop of the solution from the jet end of the pipette. The strength of the solution must be calculated up to the fourth decimal place. Do not forget to heat the mixture of oxalic acid and HSO, solutions between 50°-60° C while titrating it against potassium permanganate.
