Titration

Aim -

Apparatus Required - Burette, pipette, conical flask, funnel, measuring cylinder, weighing
balance and distilled water, Mohr's Salt Sol, KMnO₄ & H₂SO₄

Theory - Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄) is a strong oxidizing agent and in presence of


sulphuric acid (dil. H₂SO₄). It oxidizes Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺. H₂SO₄ is used to make medium
acidic. KMnO₄ acts as a self-indicator. End point is the appearance of pinkish tinge.

Procedure -

1) Rinse and fill burette with KMnO₄ solution.


2) Using pipette, transfer 20 ml of given Mohr's salt sol. + 10 ml of distilled water.
3) Add half test tube of dil. H₂SO₄ suitable for acidity to conical flask.
4) Titrate Mohr's salt sol. against KMnO₄ solution.
5) Repeat until concordant readings are recorded.
(Table)

Precautions

1.​ Always rinse burette & pipette and remove air bubbles
2.​ Take readings from lower meniscus of burette
Aim: To identify the presence of alcoholic functional group in a given organic
compound.

Ceric Ammonium Nitrate Test:

Alcohol or reaction with ceric ammonium nitrate forms a pink or red colour precipitate
due to the formation of a complex compound and ammonium nitrate.

(NH4)2 [Ce(NO3)6] + 3ROH → [Ce(NO3)4(ROH)3] + 2NH4NO3
