agents are the solutions that oxidizes other & reduces itself by gaining electron/s. Redox titration is a
type of titration between reducing agent and oxidizing agent. Both reduction & oxidation process occurs
during reaction therefore it is called as Red-Ox titration.
KMnO4, K2Cr2O7 & K2CrO4 are the example of oxidizing agent while FeSO4.7H20, H2C2O4.2H2O,
FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.2H2O are the example of reducing agent. Sulphuric acid H2SO4 is added to conical flask
before titration, as redox reactions requires medium for redox process to occur.
Procedure:
1. Wash pipette, burette, conical flask & funnel with water
4. Pipette out 10.0 cm3 solution of reducing agent & transfer it to conical flask, Add ½ test tube
H2SO4 in conical flask before titration.

Sulphuric acid H2SO4 is added to conical flask before titration, as redox reactions requires medium for
redox process to occur. When oxalic acid is used as reducing agent, solution is heated before carried
out titration in order to activate redox reaction by facilitating the liberation of CO2.

1. Wash pipette, burette, conical flask & funnel with water
4. Pipette out 10.0 cm3 solution of reducing agent & transfer it to conical flask, Add ½ test tube
H2SO4 in conical flask before titration.
5. Heat the contents of conical flask gently with continuous shaking, till vapors condense on the
neck of conical flask.

For the analysis of element in a given sample, the sample must contain elements in ionic form so that
18
they can be easily detected when treated with certain inorganic reagents. In “organic samples” elements
are not present in ionic form, therefore in order to convert them to ionic form “Lassaign’s solution
(sodium extract)” is prepared. The desire element fused with sodium “Na” and changes to ionic form.
Systematic approach leads to the detection of element in a given sample. Different sodium extracts are
as,
Equations:
For Nitrogen: Na + C + N NaCN Na+ + CN-
For Sulphur: Na + S Na2S 2Na+ + S2-
For Halogens: Na + X NaX Na+ + X- (X= Cl, Br, I)

Determination of boiling point of a liquid is qualitative analysis, in which we observe the
change in state of matter from liquid to vapor phase. Boiling point is “The temperature
where liquid changes to gaseous state” it is defined as “The temperature where vapor
pressure of liquid becomes equals to external atmospheric pressure”. The boiling point
of a substance is characterizing physical property that can be used for the identification
of liquids.
Procedure:
1. Take a capillary tube & close its one end by bringing the middle of capillary to
flame & stretched it from both ends until it breaks.
2. Tie the fusion tube with thermometer with the help of thread.
3. Fill the given liquid ½ of the volume of fusion tube & insert capillary such that
open end is at bottom of fusion tube
4. Hang the thermometer in beaker containing solvent bath in such a way that
thermometer neither touches the wall of beaker nor touches the base of beaker.
5. Heat it gently with constant stirring, till constant bubbles rises from the lower end
of the capillary tube.
6. Remove the flame & wait till bubbles disappears (this is cross checking for B.P.)
7. Repeat the procedure to take concordant reading.

Determination of melting point of a solid is qualitative analysis, in which we observe the
change in state of matter from solid to liquid. Melting point is “The temperature where
solid changes to liquid state” it is defined as “The state where solid and liquid, coexist in
equilibrium”. The melting point of a substance is characterizing physical property that
can be used for the identification of solids. Pure solids have sharp melting point that is
whole solid melts at particular fixed temperature.
Procedure:
1. Take a capillary tube & close its one end by bringing the middle of capillary to
flame & stretched it from both ends until it breaks.
2. Fill the given solid in the capillary by tapping it several times until ¼th of capillary
is filled with solid.
4. Hang the thermometer in beaker containing solvent bath in such a way that
thermometer neither touches the wall of beaker nor touches the base of beaker.
5. Heat it gently with constant stirring, till solid melts (solid becomes transparent on
melting)
6. Remove the flame & wait till sample solidifies again (this is cross checking for M.P.)

MELTING POINT & BOILING POINT Ans. Boiling is a rapid change and takes place throughout
the liquid at a definite at boiling point, While Evaporation
is a slow change and takes place at the surface of the liquid

Ans. The process in which substance changes from solid to
the liquid state.
What is the effect of pressure on Boiling

Ans. It is raised by the increase of pressure and is lowered

by the decrease of pressure.
Ans. The temperature at which the solid substance
changes into liquid and continues to take place until the
whole of the solid is converted into liquid is known as the What is the effect of height on the Boiling point
“Melting point” of the substance. of a liquid?
Ans. With heights, the boiling points are reduced as the
pressure decreases.
Why a thin walled capillary tube and not a
thick walled tube is selected to determine the
Melting point? Why should we stir the liquid in the beaker?
Ans. Thin walled capillary is used so that temperature Ans. We should stir it constantly because, this helps the

Why paraffin oil & sulphuric acid is used as a
bath for determining boiling point?
Why it is necessary to heat the bath slowly Ans. These are use for a bath for determining boiling point
with constant stirring? because of having high boiling temperature.
Ans. It is necessary to heat the bath slowly with constant
stirring to ensure uniformity of temperature. What is the purpose of inserting capillary

Why water as a bath cannot be used for the Ans. From the lower end of capillary, bubbles are form that

Give the boiling points of some liquids?
Ans. Liquid B.P / oC
What is meant by the “Boiling point” of a Water 100
liquid?
Ans. The Boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at methanol 65
which the vapour pressure of the liquid becomes equal to ethanol 78
the atmospheric pressure (i.e. 760 mm.) chloroform 61
CCl4 78
Why temperature remains constant at boiling
point of a liquid? Acetone 56
Ans. Because the heat is utilized for converting liquid into
vapors, so temperature remains constant.
Give the boiling points of some solids?
Ans. Solid M.P / oC
What is the Boiling point of pure water? Is the
same at all places? Oxalic acid 101
Ans. The Boiling point of pure water is 100˚C at a pressure Urea 132
of 760 torr. The pressure of air at all places is not the same. α-napthol 95
