Study Notes
Oxidation States and Reactions
- Manganese in Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) has an oxidation state of +7.
- In titrations, dilute sulfuric acid is added to KMnO4 to prevent the formation of manganese oxidation state +4 and to ensure complete reduction to Mn²⁺.
- Iron(II) ions (Fe²⁺) must be protected from oxidation to Fe³⁺ by air during the titration with dilute H₂SO₄.
Stoichiometry and Color Changes
- The redox reaction ratio of MnO₄⁻ to Fe²⁺ is 1:5.
- A color change from purple (KMnO4) to persistently pale pink indicates the end point of the titration involving potassium permanganate and ammonium iron(II) sulfate.
Iron Tablets in Medicine
- Iron tablets serve to prevent anemia by replenishing iron levels in the body.
Redox Reaction Dynamics
- Fe²⁺ acts as the reducing agent in the reaction with KMnO4 and ammonium iron(II) sulfate.
- Chloride ions in tap water can interfere with the experiment by displacing iodine from solutions, leading to inaccurate results.
Role of Absorbents and Indicators
- Excess potassium iodide is added to ensure all I₂ ions are released from potassium iodate, maintaining iodine in solution.
- Starch indicator is utilized to detect iodine presence, added once the solution turns straw yellow.
Bleaching and Oxidizing Agents
- The active ingredient in bleaches is the hypochlorite ion (OCl⁻).
- KMnO4 is a good oxidizing agent as it self-indicates during reactions.
Key Standard and Oxidation States
- Ammonium iron(II) sulfate is the primary standard used in redox titrations.
- The oxidation states of manganese are as follows: purple = +7, brown = +4, and colorless = +2.
Use of Acids and Measurement Techniques
- HCl cannot replace dilute sulfuric acid due to potential reaction with KMnO4 producing toxic chlorine gas, while nitric acid is too strong an oxidizing agent.
- When reading the volume of KMnO4 in the burette, the measurement is taken from the top of the meniscus.
Titration Procedures and Dilution Factors
- Five iron tablets are used to ensure there is a measurable amount of iron for accurate results.
- Pure iodine is not suitable for use because it sublimates at room temperature.
- In iodine versus sodium thiosulfate titrations, the color changes from red/brown to straw yellow, then blue-black, and finally to colorless.
- Starch is added in the iodine titration once the solution reaches a straw yellow color to avoid displacing iodine at the start.
- Bleach should be diluted before titration to achieve accurate results; the dilution factor is calculated as diluted volume divided by initial volume.
