Study Notes
Redox Titrations
- Redox titrations determine the concentration of an oxidizing or reducing agent in a solution.
Potassium Manganate(VII) Titrations
- Potassium manganate(VII) (KMnO4) is a powerful oxidizing agent used in redox titrations.
- KMnO4 is standardized against oxalic acid solution.
- Oxalic acid reacts with KMnO4 according to the equation: C2O4^{2-} + 2MnO4^{-} + 16H^{+} → 2CO2 + 2Mn^{2+} + 8H2O.
Iron(II) Titrations
- Iron(II) (Fe2+) can be oxidized to iron(III) (Fe3+) by oxidizing agents like potassium permanganate.
- The reaction between iron(II) and potassium permanganate is: Fe^{2+} + MnO4^{-} + 8H^{+} → Fe^{3+} + Mn^{2+} + 4H2O.
Sodium Thiosulfate Titrations
- Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) is a common reducing agent used in redox titrations.
- Sodium thiosulfate is often used to standardize an iodine solution.
- The reaction between sodium thiosulfate and iodine is: 2S2O3^{2-} + I2 → S4O6^{2-} + 2I^{-}.
Reaction Volume Calculation and Moles
- In redox titrations, it's essential to calculate the volume and moles of reactants used.
