Main Uses:
Procedure:
1.50.0g of fresh guava was weighed and crushed to a fine pulp using
pestle-mortar.
2.The crushed pulp was transferred to a beaker and about 50ml dil.
H2SO4 was added. The contents were boiled for about 10 minutes.
3.The contents were filtered and cooled in 100ml measuring flask.
The volume was made up to 100ml by adding distilled water.
4.20ml of this solution was taken into a titerating flask and 20ml
of dil. H2SO4 was added to it. The mixture was heated to about 60 C and
titerated against the standard KMnO4 solution taken in a burette
5.The process was repeated with different samples of guava.
