QUESTION
1. Write the overall chemical equation for the redox reaction between potassium permanganate and sodium
oxalate.
2 𝑀𝑛𝑂−4(𝑎𝑞)+5 𝐶2𝑂2−4(𝑎𝑞)→2 𝑀𝑛2+(𝑎𝑞)+10 𝐶𝑂2(𝑔)+8 𝐻2𝑂(𝑙).
2. Calculate the actual molarity of potassium permanganate solution.
3. Explain why no indicator is needed in this experiment.
-In this experiment, no indicator is needed because the end point is easily observed. The
colour of the permanganate ion is purple whereas the manganate ion is nearly colourless.
One drop excess of permanganate will affects the colour of persistence pink of the
solution.
4. Explain why heating is necessary in the standardization of potassium permanganate.
-This is due to the fact that rising temperature raises kinetic energy, which causes more molecules to
have energy greater than activation energy, boosting the rate and successful completion of the reaction.
As a result, in a redox titration against "KMnO (4)," oxalic acid should be heated.

DISCUSSION
Electron-transfer reactions include redox or oxidation-reduction reactions. It takes place at once.
Changes in the oxidation state of the elements in reactant and product were involved in redox reactions. The
half-reaction that involves electron loss is referred to as a "oxidation reaction." A half-reaction that involves the
gain of electrons is a reduction reaction. Redox is used to calibrate solutions and identify a constituent of the
reactant.
Standardization is essential. It was originally used to ascertain a solution's precise concentration. In this
experiment, potassium permanganate is standardised using sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4) (KMnO4). According to
the equation below, Na2C2O4 acts as a reducing agent by donating electrons to MnO4 whereas KMnO4 acts as
an oxidising agent by receiving electrons from Na2C2O4:
5Na2C2O4 + 2KMnO4 + 8H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 10CO2 + 5Na2SO4 + 8H2O
From this experiment, the mola. The
average molarity of
K
From this experiment, the molarity of KMnO4 can be determined. The average molarity of
KMnO4 is 0.0885M.
In the experiment, sulfuric acid will cause potassium permanganate (KMnO4) to react with iron ore
(H2SO4). As an oxidising agent, KMnO4 is used. Due of its ability to receive electrons from Fe2+, MnO4-
transforms into Mn2+.
The light purple colour of the permanganate ion changes to pink as a result of the conversion, and
KMnO4 also serves as an indication. Because iron ore contributes electrons to oxygen and changes Fe2+ into
Fe3+, it functions as a reducing agent. H2SO4 is used to make the solution more acidic in order to stop MnO4
from being converted to MnO2. Therefore, even in the presence of a powerful oxidising agent, the acid is stable.
Acid is additionally employed to supply the H+ required for the reaction to proceed swiftly. The following
equation represents the reaction.
MnO4- + 8H+ + 5Fe2+ → 2Mn2+ + 4H2O + 5Fe3+
EXPERIMENT 1_IDENTIFICATION OF A COMPOUND 7
CONCLUSION
Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) can be standardize sodiumm oxlate by using titration method and heating it
constantly.
