EXPERIMENT No. 1

AIM – (a) To prepare 100ml of M/20 solution of oxalic acid. (b)Using this calculate the molarity and strength of the given KMnO4 solution. APPARATUS AND CHEMICALS REQUIRED- Oxalic acid, weighing bottle, weight box, volumetric flask, funnel, distilled water, chemical balance, beakers, conical flask, funnel, burette, pipette, clamp stand, tile, dilute H2SO4, KMnO4 solution.

THEORY- (a) Oxalic acid is a dicarboxylic acid having molar mass 126gmol-1. It is a primary standard and has the molecular formula COOH-COOH.2H2O. Its equivalent mass is 126/2 = 63 as its n factor is 2 as per the following reaction: COOH-COOH → 2CO2 + 2H+ + 2e-.
Calculation of amount of oxalic acid to be weighed to prepare 100ml M/20 solution:

wt. X 1000 M = Mol. Wt V(ml)

PROCEDURE:
1. Weigh a clean dry bottle using a chemical balance.
2. Add more weights to the pan containing the weights for the weighing bottle.
3. Add oxalic acid in small amounts to the weighing bottle, so that the pans are balanced.
4. Remove the weighing bottle from the pan.
5. Using a funnel, transfer the oxalic acid to the volumetric flask.
6. Add a few drops of distilled water to dissolve the oxalic acid.
7. Make up the volume to the required level using distilled water.
8. The standard solution is prepared.

(b) THEORY-
1. The reaction between KMnO4 and oxalic acid is a redox reaction and the titration is therefore called a redox titration.
2. Oxalic acid is the reducing agent and KMnO4 is the oxidizing agent.
3. KMnO4 acts as an oxidizing agent in all the mediums; i.e. acidic, basic and neutral medium.
4. KMnO4 acts as the strongest oxidizing agent in the acidic medium and therefore dil. H2SO4 is added to the conical flask before starting the titration.
5. The titration

    A 300 ml 0.5 M sulfuric acid solution was created by adding 25 ml of 6 M sulfuric acid to 275 ml of distilled water. A buret was then cleaned and filled with the KmnO4 solution. Next, 10 to 15 ml of 0.1 M sodium oxalate solution was added to 100 ml sulfuric acid and placed in an Erlenmeyer flask for titration. The solution was then heated to around 60 degrees Celsius. The solution was then titrated until a faint pink/purple color remains for about thirty seconds. The Molarity of the KMnO4 can then be determined. This step was repeated.…

    I weighed out about 2.8 grams of potassium permanganate and dissolved it in about 200 ml of distilled water. I made sure to make all of the permanganate dissolve, of course, by stirring it thoroughly. I then weighed about 2 samples of sodium oxalate (.47 and .50 g) then placed them in some 200-ml Erlenmeyer flasks, then and added about 50 ml of distilled water to them as well. I then titrated the potassium permanganate solution after adding about 15 ml of 3 M sulfuric acid to the oxalate and heating the whole solution to about 60-90 C, using a magnetic stirring bar to help stir. I kept on slowly titrating at the same temperature until the solution turns very light pink. I then stopped, recorded the amount of KmnO4 used, then went on.…

    A Redox titration was used in order to perform this experiment. Reduction/oxidation (redox) process occurs when electrons are transferred from a donor species (the reducing agent) to another acceptor species (the oxidizing agent). It happens between an analyte and a titrant. A redox titration is done just as a normal titration is done, however instead of titrating an acid against a base, an oxidizing agent is titrated against a reducing agent and the equivalence point is reached when the reducing agent is completely oxidized by the oxidizing agent. (Chang, 2011). An indicator is used just as in an acid-base titration, although in this experiment because of its self-indicating property KMnO4 the titrant, it is also used as indicate when the equivalence point is reached as it is titrated with Fe2+…

    Oxalic acid is an organic compound with the formula H2C2O4. It is a colorless crystalline solid that dissolves in water to give colorless solutions. It is classified as a dicarboxylic acid. In terms of acid strength, it is much stronger than acetic acid. Oxalic acid is a reducing agent and its conjugate base, known as oxalate (C2O42−), is a chelating agent for metal cations. Typically, oxalic acid occurs as the dihydrate with the formula H2C2O4·2H2O. Oral consumption of oxalic acid or prolonged skin contact is dangerous.…

    Oxalate ION

    • 269 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The dissociation of protons from oxalic acid proceeds in a stepwise manner as for other polyprotic acids. Loss of a single proton results in the monovalent hydrogenoxalate anion HC2O4−. A salt with this anion is sometimes called an acid oxalate, monobasic oxalate, or hydrogen oxalate. The equilibrium constant (Ka) for loss of the first proton is 5.37×10−2 (pKa = 1.27). The loss of the second proton, which yields the oxalate ion has an equilibrium constant of 5.25×10−5 (pKa = 4.28). These values imply that, in solutions with neutral pH, there is no oxalic acid, and only trace amounts of hydrogen oxalate.[1] The literature is often unclear on the distinction between H2C2O4, HC2O4-, and C2O42-, and the collection of species is referred to oxalic acid.…
