to prepare hundred ml of M/20 solution of oxalic acid using this calculate the molarity and strength of given KMnO4 solution
Answers
Indicator :KMnO4 is a self indicator.
End point : colourless to light pink
Preparation :
Volume of oxalic acid solution :100ml
Molarity :M/20
Volume of oxalic acid taken in the the pipette :10
Then we perform the titration and record the readings in the observation table.
Don't copy these readings. Take your own readings.
1st reading:-
Initial reading = 1ml
Final reading = 13ml
Volume of KMnO4 used=12ml
2nd reading :-
Initial reading = 13ml
Final reading = 26.3ml
Volume of KMnO4 used=13.3ml
3rd reading :-
Initial reading = 26.5ml
Final reading = 39.8ml
Volume of KMnO4 used=13.3ml
Concordant volume= 13.3
Calculation:-
M KMnO4 x V KMnO4 / M oxalic acid x V oxalic acid = 2/5 (from the balanced redox reaction)
M KMnO4 = 2 x M oxalic acid x V oxalic acid / 5x V KMnO4
M KMnO4 = 2/5 x 1/20 x 10 x 1/13.3
M KMnO4 = 2/ 10 x 13.3
M KMnO4 = 0.015
Result:-
The Molarity of the given KMnO4 solution is 0.015 M.
