DATA AND DISCUSSION

1. TITRATION OF KMnO4 SOLUTION WITH STANDARD H2C2O4 SOLUTION

Normality of the standard H2C2O4 solution, NH2C2O4= 0.05 N

Volume of the standard H2C2O4 solution used, VH2C2O4 = 10 mL

Trial # Burette reading (mL) Volume of KMnO4 (mL) Normality of KMnO4 (N)

1 23 - 33 10 0.05

2 33 -42 9 0.056

3 42 - 51.5 9.5 0.053

Data Calculation:

Normality of the solution is calculated by the relationship

VKMnO4 x NKMnO4 = VH2C2O4 x N H2C2O4

The Normality of KMnO4 is: NKMnO4 = (VH2C2O4 x N H2C2O4)/VKMnO4

For the Trial 1: NKMnO4 = 0.05x10/10 = 0.05

For the Trial 2: NKMnO4 = 0.05x10/9 = 0.056

For the Trial 3: NKMnO4 = 0.05x10/9.5 = 0.053

Average Normality of KMnO4 = (0.05 + 0.056 + 0.053)/3 = 0.053 (N)

2. TITRATION OF UNKNOWN CONCENTRATION H2C2O4 SOLUTION WITH

STANDARD KMnO4 SOLUTION

Normality of the standard KMnO4 solution, N(KMnO4) = 0.05 N

Volume of the unknown H2C2O4 solution used, V(H2C2O4) = 10 mL

 Trial # Burette reading (mL) Volume of KMnO4 (mL) Normality of
H2C2O4 (N)

1 17 37 20 0.1

2 37 - 50 21.5 0.108

4 - 12.5

3 12.5 - 31 18.5 0.0925

Data Calculation:

Normality of the solution is calculated by the relationship

VKMnO4 x NKMnO4 = VH2C2O4 x N H2C2O4

The Normality of KMnO4 is: NH2C2O4 = (VKMnO4 x NKMnO4)/VH2C2O4

For the Trial 1: NH2C2O4 = 0.05x20/10 = 0.1

For the Trial 2: NH2C2O4 = 0.05x21.5/10 = 0.108

For the Trial 3: NH2C2O4 = 0.05x18.5/10 = 0.0925

Average Normality of KMnO4 = (0.1 + 0.108 + 0.0925)/3 = 0.1002 (N)

3. TITRATION OF UNKNOWN CONCENTRATION FeSO4 SOLUTION WITH

STANDARD KMnO4 SOLUTION

Normality of the standard KMnO4 solution, N(KMnO4) = 0.05 N

Volume of the unknown H2C2O4 solution used, V(FeSO4) = 10 mL

Trial # Burette reading (mL) Volume of KMnO4 (mL) Normality of

FeSO4 (N)

1 10 - 17.5 7.5 0.0375

 2 17.5 - 25.5 8 0.04

3 25.5 33 7.5 0.0375

Data Calculation:

Normality of the solution is calculated by the relationship

VKMnO4 x NKMnO4 = VFeSO4 x NFeSO4

The Normality of KMnO4 is: NFeSO4 = (VKMnO4 x NKMnO4 )/VFeSO4

For the Trial 1: NFeSO4 = 0.05x7.5/10 = 0.0375

For the Trial 2: NFeSO4 = 0.05x8/10 = 0.04

For the Trial 3: NFeSO4 = 0.05x7.5/10 = 0.0375

Average Normality of FeSO4 = (0.0375 + 0.04 + 0.0375)/3 = 0.038 (N)
