IONIC Equation:
MnO4 - + 8H+ + 5e-  Mn+2 + 4H2O
5Fe+2 5Fe+3 + 5e-
MnO4 - + 5Fe+2 + 8H+  5Fe+3 + Mn+2 + 4H2O
Preparation of Mohr salt solution
M = w x 1000
MM x V
1/20 = w x 1000
392 x100
Or w = 1.96 g

wt. of watch glass: ___________ g

wt. of watch glass + salt: ________ g
wt. of watch glass after transfer: ___________ g
wt. of salt transferred: 1.96 g

Molarity of Mohr salt solution prepared = 1/20 M

OBSERVATIONS

SOLUTION IN BURETTE: KMnO4

SOLUTION IN TITRATION FLASK: 10 mL Mohr salt + ½ test tube H2SO4

VOLUME OF PIPETTE: 10 mL

INDICATOR: KMnO4 is a self indicator

END POINT: colourless to permanent pink

OBSERVATION TABLE

S.No. Initial Reading Final Reading Volume Used mL

1 1.0

Concordant Volume = ____________ mL

CALCULATIONS:

KMnO4 ≡ Mohr salt

n1M1V1 = n2M2V2

5 x M1x (concordant volume) = 1 x 1/20 x 10

M1 = ___________ M

Strength = M1 x 158 = ___________ g/mL

RESULT : Strength of the given solution is __ g/mL

PRECAUTIONS : (Any 2)
