Study Notes

Volumetric Analysis: Oxidation-Reduction

  • Volumetric analysis is used to determine the concentration of oxidizing and reducing agents.
  • Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a key oxidizing agent.
  • Potassium permanganate is a purple solid, but not a primary standard due to purity issues.
  • It needs standardization via titration against a primary standard.
  • In acidic solutions, KMnO4 acts as an oxidizing agent, gaining 5 electrons.
    • MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- → Mn2+ + 4H2O
  • Potassium permanganate acts as its own indicator.
  • To undergo the reaction, dilute acid is added to provide H+ ions.
  • The concentration of KMnO4 solution can be determined by titrating it against a solution containing Fe2+ ions. KMnO4 converts Fe2+ to Fe3+.
  • Oxidizing agent: MnO4-
  • Reducing agent: Fe2+
  • 5 Fe2+ ions react with 1 MnO4- ion.
    • MnO4- + 8H+ + 5Fe2+ → Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O
  • Ammonium iron(II) sulfate (FeSO4) provides Fe2+ ions for titration. It's a primary standard since it is pure and unaffected by air.

Mandatory Experiment: Standard Solution Preparation

  • Procedure to prepare a standard ammonium iron(II) sulfate solution and use it to standardize a KMnO4 solution.
    • Rinse glassware (pipette, burette, conical flask) with deionized water.
    • Rinse the burette with KMnO4 solution, pipette with Fe2+ solution.
    • Fill pipette with Fe2+ solution, transfer to conical flask. Acidify with sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
    • Fill burette with KMnO4 solution, ensuring the lower part is full before adjusting to zero.
    • Add KMnO4 dropwise while swirling, noting the first permanent pale pink colour and the burette reading.
    • Repeat the process to get two consistent titre values to within 0.1 cm3.

Solving Volumetric Problems in Redox Reactions

  • Formulas for calculating molarity and volumes of oxidizing and reducing agents.
  • Example of calculating concentration of KMnO4 solution using titration titrations.
  • Note that one mole of MnO4- reacts with 5 moles of Fe2+.

Mandatory Experiment: Determining Iron in Tablets

  • Procedure to determine the amount of iron (Fe) in an iron tablet.
    • Weigh five tablets.
    • Crush the tablets, dissolve them in diluted sulfuric acid, and transfer all the solution to a 250 cm3 volumetric flask filling up to the mark using deionized water; wash the flask to ensure all the tablet contents are in the flask.
    • Rinse pipette and burette with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and iron(II) solutions respectively.
    • Fill the pipette with iron solution and transfer to a conical flask. Acidify with sulfuric acid.
    • Fill the burette with potassium permanganate.
    • Add the KMnO4 solution dropwise to the conical flask while swirling until the first permanent pale pink colour appears and note the burette reading; avoid excess.
    • Repeat the process to obtain two consistent titre readings, adjusting to within 0.1 cm3.
    • Calculate the iron concentration and the mass of iron in the tablet.

Mandatory Experiment: Sodium Thiosulfate Standardization

  • Procedure for preparing a sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) solution and standardizing it using iodine (I2) titrations. 
    • Rinse glassware with deionized water. Rinse the pipette with potassium iodate and the burette with sodium thiosulfate.
    • Fill the pipette with potassium iodate and add to the conical flask.
    • Add sulfuric acid and potassium iodide to the conical flask.
    • Fill the burette with sodium thiosulfate.
    • Titrate by adding sodium thiosulfate, using starch as an indicator until the solution turns colourless.
    • Note the burette reading.
    • Repeat to get consistent titre values within 0.1cm3.
    • Calculate the concentration of the thiosulfate solution.

Mandatory Experiment: Bleach Analysis

  • Procedure to determine the percentage of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) in a bleach solution.
    • Dilute the bleach solution
    • Rinse glassware
    • Add potassium iodide and sulfuric acid to generate iodine (I2).
    • Titrate the iodine solution with sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) solution, using starch as an indicator, until the solution turns colourless.
    • Note the burette reading
    • Repeat the process to ensure that the titre is within 0.1cm3.
    • Calculate the concentration of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO).
