INDICATOR
KMn0, is a self-indicator.

END POINT
Colourless to permanent pink colour (KMnO, in burette).

PROCEDURE
/1. Prepare 250 ml of 0.05 M Mohr's salt solution by dissolving 4.9 g of Mohr's salt in water as described in
experiment 10.1. Rinse the pipette with the 0:05 M Mohr's salt solution and pipette out 20.0 ml of it in a
washed titration flask.
2. Rinse and fill the burette with the given KMnO, solution.
3. Add one test tube (-20 ml) full of dilute sulphuric acid (-2 M) to the solution in titration flask.
4. Note the initial reading of the burette.
5. Now add KMn0, solution from the burette tilla permanent light pink colour is imparted to the solution in
the titration flask on addition of last single drop of KMn0, solution.
6. Note the final reading of the burette.
7. Repeat the above steps 4-5 times to get a set of three concordant readings.
