Study Notes
Redox Reaction: Potassium Permanganate and Ammonium Iron(II) Sulfate
- Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) is an oxidizing agent that contains Mn in the (+7) oxidation state.
- Ammonium Iron(II) Sulfate is a primary standard.
- In acidic conditions, Mn is reduced, reacting with air to form iron(III), and dilute sulphuric acid is added to prevent this.
- If acidic conditions are not used, an intermediate oxidation state (+4) will be reached.
Titration: Potassium Permanganate vs. Ammonium Iron(II)
- The reaction is MnO₄- (aq) + 5Fe 2+ (aq) + 8H+ (aq) → Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ (aq) + 4H₂O (l).
- When adding any colored solution, such as KMnO4, to the burette, the volume readings are taken from the top of the meniscus.
- The oxidation states of Mn are: Mn(+7) purple -> Mn(+4) brown -> Mn(+2) colorless.
Redox Reaction: Potassium Permanganate vs. Iron Tablets
- Iron tablets are used to prevent anemia.
- Dilute H2SO4 is added to prevent Fe(2+) being oxidized to Fe(3+) by air and to ensure complete reduction of Mn.
- The color change is from colorless to persisting pale pink.
Steps to Solve Calculations
- Write the conclusion of the titration.
- Get moles of iron solution in the titration.
- Convert to moles.
- Use moles x Mr = mass to get the total mass of iron.
- Find the mass of iron/tablet.
- Find the percentage.
Iodine vs. Thiosulphate Titration
- Iodine is the oxidizing agent.
- DI water must be used to prevent chloride ions from tap water, which would displace iodine from iodine solutions.
- The iodine solution contains potassium iodate (KIO₃), excess dilute sulphuric acid, and excess potassium iodide (KI).
- Excess potassium iodide is used to ensure all I₂ ions are released and to keep the iodine formed in solution.
- Add starch indicator when a straw yellow color is detected.
- The color change is from red-brown to straw yellow to blue/black to colorless.
Redox Reaction: Hypochlorite in Bleach
- The hypochlorite ion (OCl-) is the active ingredient in bleaches.
- Chlorine is a stronger oxidizing agent, displacing iodine.
- The reaction is I₂ + 2S₂O₃2- → S₄O₆2- + 2I-.
- Add starch indicator when a straw yellow color is detected.
- The color change is from red/brown to straw yellow to blue/black to colorless.
