SOLUTION BY TITRATION WITH POTASSIUM

INTRODUCTION

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a

transter of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any
chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes
by gaining or losing an electron.Redox reactions are common and vital to some of
the basic functions of life, including photosynthesis,respiration, combustion. and
corrosion or rusting.The two species that exchange electrons in a redox reaction are
given special names. The ion or molecule that accepts electrons is called the
oxidizing agent by accepting electrons it causes the oxidation of another species.
Conversely, the species that donates electrons is called the reducing agent when the
reaction occurs, it reduces the other species. In other words. What is oxidized is the
reducing agent and what is reduced is the oxidizing agent. Two common oxidizing
agents are potassium dichromate (K2CrO7) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4).
The colours of them are different from those of the reduced species.

Cr2O7 2- > Cr3-

Yellow-orange Green

MnO4- Mn2+

Light purple Pink

Thus these oxidizing agents can themselves be used as an indicator in a redox
titration because they have distinctly different colours in the oxidized and reduced
forms. Redox s titration requires the same type of calculations (based on the mole
method) as acid-base neutralizations.

In this experiment, KMnO4 solution of known concentration will react with an

acidified solution of FeSO4 of unknown concentration. This reaction involves
oxidation and reduction reactions (redox) in which electrons are transferred from one
substance to another. In this redox reaction, Fe2+ is converted into Fe3t and MnO, is
converted into Mn?+. The change in the oxidation state of manganese in MnO, to
Mn?* causes a change in colour. When the reaction is complete, and excess Mn04
is added to the reaction mixture, the solution turns pink and the titration is done.
OBJECTIVES

1. To determine the molarity and concentration of iron (II) sulphate (FeSO4) using redox
titration.

APPARATUS

 Volumetric flask (250 mL)

 Pipette (20 mL)
 Graduated cylinder (10ML)
 Conical flask (250 mL)
 Beaker (50 mL)
 Burette
 Burette clamp
 Retort stand
 Pipette filter or suction bulb
 Filter funnel
 Dropper

CHEMICALS

 Iron (II) sulphate, FeSO4

 0.025 M standard potassium permanganate solution, KMnO4
 2 M sulphuric acid, H2SO4
PROCEDURE

1. Burette was washed with distilled water and then rinsed with about 5-10 mL of KMnO4
solution, the second rinsing runned through the burette tip.The burette clamped to the retort
stand.

2. The burette filled with KM04 solution. Make sure the tip is completely filled and contain no
air bubbles. The initial burette reading recorded to two decimal places. Since the colour of
the KM04 solution is quite intense, you may be required to give a good estimate of the
burette volume.

3. On an analytical balance, 8 g FeSO4 weighed accurately using weighing paper. The mass
of FeSO4 recorded.

4. With the aid of a filter funnel, the FeSO4 transferred carefully to a 250 mL volumetric flask.
The filter funnel rinsed with distilled water into the volumetric flask. Using a graduated
cylinder, 10 mL of 2 M sulphuric acid added into the volumetric flask. Distilled water added
until the calibration mark (use a dropper to add the last few drops of distilled water). The
volumetric flask shaked by turning it upside-down a few times in order for the solution to be
homogeneous.

5. About 50 mL of FeSO4 solution poured into a small beaker. 20 mL pipette washed with
distilled water and rinsed with FeSO4 solution (all rinsing solutions must be discarded). 20
mL of FeSO4 solution pipette into a 250 mL conical flask (ensure there no air bubbles at the
tip of the pipette)

6. 10 mL of 2 M sulphuric acid added into the conical flask by using a graduated cylinder.

7. Conical flask was placed on a piece of white paper or white tile (DO NOT USE FILTER
PAPER under the burette and the burette tip lowered into the conical flask.

8. The titration apparatus was setup. This solution titrated with the standard KMnO4 from the
burette until the end point reached. During the titration, the conical flask kept swirling. The
end point is indicated when the solution turns to a LIGHT PINK permanently. The final
burette reading recorded. This is the result of the ROUGH TITRATION.

9. The titration process repeated until two consecutive titrations (meaning, one titration after
another) agree to +/- 0.10 mL.
QUESTIONS

1. Why did the solution turn to light pink at the end of the titration?

In this experiment, Mn?+ has a visible colour at the concentrations, so the purple KMn04 is
reduced to Mn?* it seems to disappear. At the endpoint, one drop after the equivalence
point, that drop falls in the conical flask can't oxidized any more Fe?+ and that purple drop
stays unreacted in the flask, it spreads out and gives a light pink colour to the solution.

2. Identify which species is oxidized and reduced in this experiment.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons or hydrogen atoms or gain of oxygen atom. It was identified
that Fe2+ is oxidation species. Meanwhile reduction is the gain of electrons or hydrogen
atoms or loss of oxygen atom. It was identified that Mn? is reduction species.

3. Differentiate between oxidation and reduction

OXIDATION REDUCTION

Oxidation is the loss of electrons or Reduction is the gain of electrons or

hydrogen atoms or gain of oxygen atom
Removal or loss of electron
Removal of hydrogen
Addition of oxygen
All the above reactions releases energy
hydrogen atoms or loss of oxygen atom
Addition or gain of electron
Addition of hydrogen
Removal of oxygen
All the above reactions store energy

CALCULATION:

1. In this experiment. MO is reduced to Mn?+ and Fe2+ is oxidized to Fe3+ . The reaction
happened in the acidic solution. With the help of ion-electron method, balance the redox
equation.

2. Determine the molarity (M) of FeSO4 solution

3. Calculate the concentration in g/L of FeSO4

DISCUSSION

i.The result that we got are same with the theory said. Reduction of purple permanganate ion
to the colourless Mn+2 ion, the solution will turn from dark purple to a faint pink colour at the
equivalence point

ii.The initial and final readings of the burette is recorded and repeated three times includes
rough titration. The final burette reading of the titration are fixed to all the titration. So, the
result that we got in this experiment are accurate.

CONCLUSION

From this redox titration lab, we were able to determine the unknown molarity of a substance
that went through a redox chemical reaction. For our lab, the concentration of the solution
was determined to be 1.052 Molar. According to the listed concentration of the Fe2+
solution, which was given to one significant figure at 1 M, our answer at one significant figure
had 0% error. This answer reflects the precision of the given unknown solution, not our
measured precision, as the tools we used to measure our experimental value were more
precise. As a result, the unknown molarity of the Fe2+ solution was determined in this lab
through the use of a redox titration.
