I will continue our presentation with methodology.

In this experiment we prepare 100ml of

0.003 M potassium permanganate (KMnO4) solution from the 0.2 M stock solution of
KMnO4 by dilution with deionized water.

Next, 500 mL of 0.03 M sulphuric acid (H2SO4) from the 1.0 M stock sulphuric acid
solution by dilution with deionized water was prepared

After that, 50 ml standard solutions of the concentrations (blank, 1 x 10-4, 2 x 10-4, 3 x 10-4
and 4 x 10-4) for both permanganate and dichromate ions. Dilute permanganate solutions by
deionized water and dichromate solutions by the sulphuric acid solution prepared.

We Turn the UV-visible on and allow initiation for 10 minutes.

After 10minutes, sample cells with dionized water, place in the instrument and perform
baseline correction. the sample cell with the solution containing 3 x 10-4 M MnO4 and scan
the range from 250 nm to 750 nm.

After the scanning we need to measure the absorbance of the standards and the unknown at
the chosen wavelengths. As the reference, use dionized water for MnO4 solutions and the
unknown.

Lastly the data should be recorded, the calibrated curves was drwn and the concentration of
the unknow solution was calculated.
