Experiment 2
Topic : Volumetric analysis edox
Purpose : To determine the ratio o! the number o! moles o!
hydroxyammonium ions to the number o! moles o! iron"###$
ions participatin% in the reaction&
Materials : KA 1 is a solution containin% '&() % o! potassium man%anate"V##$
per (00 cm
*
&
KA 2 is a solution prepared by boilin% +&00 % o!
hydroxyammonium sulphate, ",-*.-$2S.+ per dm
*
with
excess iron"###$ ammonium sulphate and dilute sulphuric acid&
KA 3 is '&0 mol dm

Apparatus : /ea0er
1unnel
etort stand and clamp
2hite tile
2(0 cm3 conical !las0
2( cm3 pipette
4ipette !iller
/urette

Theory :
#n the presence o! hydro%en ions, the hydroxyammonium ion, ,-*.-

will
reduce iron"###$ ion to iron"##$ ion while the ,-*.-
5
ion itsel! will be oxidised to

clamped onto a retort stand, but on top o! the white tile&
7& The stopcoc0 that is attached to the burette was open a little 9ust to allow drops o!
67 ' solution to drop into the titration !las0 which consist o! 67 2 and 67 *
solution&
)& 2hile the drops o! 67 ' solution drop into titration !las0, the !las0 was swirl
slowly until the colour o! solution in the conical !las0 chan%e to li%ht pin0&

readin% was ta0en and then recorded in the result table&

The titration doesn;t need an external indicator because the solution
itsel! is purple in colour and it will turn colourless once the
reaction is done&
