    The document outlines a procedure to standardize a potassium permanganate solution by titrating it against a standard iron(II) solution. An iron(II) ammonium sulfate solution is prepared by dissolving 8 grams of the salt in 250mL of water. The potassium permanganate solution is then titrated against 25mL of the iron(II) solution until the end point is reached, where the solution changes from colorless to light maroon. The average titration volume is recorded. Using the titration data and molar mass calculations, the concentration of the potassium permanganate solution is calculated to be 0.02 mol/L.

    Aim

     To prepare a standard iron (II) solution


     To determine the concentration of potassium permanganate solution

    Instructions
    A) Preparation of Standard Iron (II) Solution
    1. 8g of hydrated iron (II) ammonium sulfate is weighed accurately using a 50mL beaker.
    2. The salt is transferred to a 250mL volumetric flask using a filter funnel, washed down
    with distilled water. The container is rinsed carefully and the rinsing is added to the
    volumetric flask.
    3. 100mL of water is added slowly to the volumetric flask, followed by 5mL of
    concentrated H2SO4.
    4. It is stoppered, shaken well and made up to the mark with distilled water.

    B) Standardizing Potassium Permanganate Solution


    5. The potassium permanganate is placed in the burette and the initial reading is recorded.
    6. 25mL of Fe(II) solution is pipetted from a correctly rinsed beaker into a 250mL conical
    flask. 10mL of 2M H2SO4 is added using a measuring cylinder.
    7. It is titrated until the end point and the final reading is recorded.
    8. The second reading is recorded in the usual manner.
    9. The experiment is repeated to obtain concordant results. (Titre highest - Titre lowest ≤ 0.10mL)
    10. The concentration of the KMnO4 solution is calculated in molL-1.
    11. A full report is written for this experiment: Title, aim, procedure, data recorded,
    calculation and results, discussion (random error source and minimization explained;
    possible systematic error source identified and detection explained) and conclusion.

    Calculation and Results


    A) Preparation of Standard Iron (II) Solution
    Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e-
    Electrons are lost causing a decrease in oxidation number. Hence, oxidation has taken place.

    B) Standardizing Potassium Permanganate by Titration


    MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- → Mn2+ 4H2O
    Electrons are gained causing an increase in oxidation. Hence, reduction has taken place.

    Overall Equation
    MnO4- + 8H+ + 5Fe2+ → Mn2+ 4H2O + 5Fe3+

    n(MnO4-) 1
    n(Fe2+) 5

    Molar mass of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O


    = 55.845 + (2x14.007) + (1.0079x8) + (32.065x2) + (15.999x8) + (12x1.0079) + (6x15.999)
    = 392.13gmol-1
