Estimation of Fe+2 by KMnO4 as primary standard Oxalic acid


Estimation of Fe+2 by KMnO4  as primary standard Oxalic acid
Aim of experiment: Estimation of Fe2+ from supplied solution by standard KMnO4
Principle: This process was presented by Mabride in 1912. When oxalic acid acidified with dil.H2SO4 is titrated with potassium permanganate solution at 60-700C temperature, an oxidation-reduction reaction takes place between these substances. The chemical reaction is
When solution of Fe2+ ion acidified with dil. H2SO4 is titrated with potassium permanganate solution at room temperature, an oxidation-reduction reaction takes place between these substances. The chemical reaction is
Required materials and solutions: Burette, pipette (20 ml), 250 ml conical flask, 250ml, volumetric flask, oxalic acid, potassium permanganate, etc.
Part: I- Preparation of standard solution of oxalic acid
Weigh accurately 1.125 g of oxalic acid in a chemical balance (or electronic balance) and transfer it to a 250 ml volumetric flask. Add 100 ml distilled water and shake vigorously until all the crystal is dissolved. Add again distilled water up to the mark of flask and it is labeled as standard oxalic acid solution
 Observation:

·         Weight of the Bottle + compound (W2)=
·         Weight of the Bottle after transfer of salt (W3)=
·         Weight of the Oxalic acid (W4) = W2-W3=

Part-II Estimation of KMnO4 using standard oxalic acid solution
Take a clean burette and rinse it with potassium permanganate solution, support it with a burette clamp. Close the stopcock and with the help of a funnel fill potassium permanganate solution to just above the zero mark. Open the stopcock to remove any air bubbles in the tip. In a 250 mL conical flask, take 20 mL oxalic acid by using a graduated pipette and 5mL conc. H2SO4. Heat the flask to about 60-70oC temperature on a wire gouge. When it becomes unbearable to touch, the required temperature is reached. 
Place a white paper below the burette and place the titration flask and run the KMnO4 solution from the burette. During titration, operate the stopcock with left hand and constantly stir the flask with the right hand. Stop addition of the KMnO4 solution when the end point is reached (pink colour of the solution) and note the final reading of the burette. The difference between the final and initial readings gives the volume of the solution used for completion of the reaction. Repeats the same titration for 3 times so that at least the concordant readings are observed.

Some important points and precautions of titration:

*      Before preparation of any standard solution all the glassware should be washed properly so that there no any contamination.
*      Do not use excess titrant, because even one more drop of titrant may disturb in determination of end point.
                  
*      Reaction conditions are important factor of redox titration. For example, titration between KMnO4 and Oxalic acid, the temperature of acid should not less than 60OC and medium should be acidic.
*      Examine the stopcock of burette before use. Loose or damage stopcock cannot control.
*      It is important to know how to take the reading of burette. The eye level and liquid surface in the burette should be parallel.
