Explanation:

Aim:

To determine the strength of a given potassium permanganate solution against standard ferrous ammonium sulfate (Mohr’s salt) solution.

Theory:

Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidant in the presence of sulfuric acid. Mohr salt is a double salt forming a single crystalline structure having the formula (NH4</sub2SO4. FeSO4. 6H2O. The chemical name for Mohr’s salt is ferrous ammonium sulfate

In this titration Mohr salt acts as a reducing agent and potassium permanganate acts as an oxidising agent. So the reaction between Mohr’s salt and potassium permanganate is a redox reaction. In this redox reaction, ferrous ion from Mohr’s salt gets oxidised and pink coloured of manganese present in potassium permanganate which is in the +7 oxidation state gets reduced to colourless Mn2+ state.

The chemical reaction and the molecular chemical equation is given below.

Reduction half reaction –

2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 3H2O + 5[O]

Oxidation half reaction –

2FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.6H2O + H2SO4 + 5[O] → Fe2(SO4)3 + 2(NH4)2SO4 + 13H2O x 5

Overall reaction –

2KMnO4 + 10FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.6H2O+8H2O → K2SO4+ 2MnSO4+ 5Fe2(SO4)3+ 10(NH4)2SO4+ 68H2O

The ionic equation involved in the process is given below.

Oxidation half reaction – [Fe2+ → Fe3+ – e–] x 5

Reduction half reaction – MnO4– + 8H+ + 5e– → Mn2+ + 4H2O

Overall ionic equation – MnO4– + 8H+ + 5Fe2+ → Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O

This titration is based upon oxidation-reduction titrations. When ferrous ammonium sulfate solution is titrated against potassium permanganate in the presence of acidic medium by sulfuric acid. Acidic medium is necessary in order to prevent precipitation of manganese oxide. Here KMnO4 acts as a self indicator and this titration is called permanganate titration.
