Question

What specific name is given to the permanganate titrations ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Redox titrations involving potassium permanganate are called permanganometric titrations. In these reactions, MnO4- ions acts as the self indicator.

Answer 2

Specific name is given to the permanganate titrations are permanganatometric titrations.

Explanation:

• Reaction in which potassium permanganate is redox titration in which oxidation and reduction take place.
• In this type of titrations$MnO4-$ is involved as a self indicator.
• It is a technique which are used in chemical quantitative analysis.
• Here oxidation and reduction are involved with the use of permanganate to measure the analyte present in an unknown solution.
• Reaction involved :
• $MnO4-+ 8H+ + 5e- ------ Mn2+ + 4 H2O$
• In permanganate titrations there involves two steps, mainly the titration of the analyte with potassium permanganate
• Then standardization of potassium permanganate solution is done with sodium oxalate solution.
• The titration involves volumetric manipulations.
• Such type of titrations allows the detection and estimation of the quantitative presence of chemical species such as iron, manganese oxalate, nitrite and hydrogen peroxide.
