Title: Standardization of KMnO4 solution Objective: To find out the molarity of the KMnO4 solution Chemical principle: Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent. It dissolves in water to give intense purple solutions. It reacts with reducing agents and gives colourless Mn2+ ions. So the solution itself acts as the indicator for the titration‚ the end point is noted when the first permanent pink colour appears. The sulphuric acid is used as a catalyst for the reaction. The oxalic

Results and Discussion Potassium permanganate‚ KMnO4‚ is widely used as an oxidizing agent in volumetric analysis. In acid solution‚ MnO4- ion undergoes reduction to Mn2+ ion as shown in the equation: 8 H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5e- → Mn2+(aq) + 4 H2O(l). Since the MnO4- ion is violet and the Mn2+ ion is nearly colorless‚ the end point in titrations using MnO4- as the titrant can be taken as the first permanent pink color that appears in the solution being titrated.1 The number of moles of potassium

heat of neutralization (∆Hneutzn ) is the heat transferred when 1 mol of an acid reacts with 1 mol of a base. This heat is generally reported in either kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol) or kilocalories per mole (kcal mol). The reaction of HCI and NaOH solutions is shown in Equation 1. HCI(aq) + NaOH(aq) H20(l) + NaCI(aq) (Eq. 1) The heat of neutralization for a reaction cannot be measured directly. However‚ the heat transferred during

Abstract In this experiment‚ the absorbance of KMnO4 was measured by spectrophotometric method to determine the molar concentration and the molar extinction coefficient of KMnO4. In part 1‚ in order to determine the maximum absorbance wavelength of KMnO4‚ we measured the absorbance of the sample solution which contains KMnO4 at the wavelengths between 330nm and 660nm‚ and plotted the λ and A points; the λmax was 530nm. In part 2‚ the effect of concentration on the absorbance was examined. We prepared

spectrophotometric analysis of copper sulphate Introduction: In the modern usage. The term spectroscopy includes a large group of techniques which differ widely in their mode of application and information they reveal. As a useful working definition‚ spectroscopy is a study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter in the experiment it means it’s the usage of ultra-light to measure the absorbance of the copper sulpate. The regions of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately adjacent

Spectrophotometric determination of Ascorbic acid Concentration in an Unknown Solution Introduction: The naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant properties is Ascorbic acid shortly referred as (AA). Normally the color of Ascorbic acid is white‚ but in some cases of impure samples it appears yellow in color. Ascorbic acid is solid in state. In water it dissolves well to give mildly acidic solutions. Ascorbic acid is one form ("vitamer") of vitamin C [1]. So‚ Ascorbic Acid (AA)
