Estimation of Mohr’s Salt(Ferrous Ammonium
Sulphate) (FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O)
Aim : To estimate the amount of Mohr’s salt present in 250ml of given solution
by using 0.02M KMnO4 solution.
Apparatus and Chemicals required :
Burette, Burette stand, Pipette, Conical flask, Glazed tile, 0.02M KMnO4
solution, given Mohr’s salt solution, Dil.H2SO4 solution
equation.
2 KMnO4 + 8 H 2 SO4 + 10 FeSO4 → K 2 SO4 + 2 MnSO4 + 5 Fe2 ( SO4 ) 3 + 8 H 2 O
2 moles 10 moles
Here, 2 mole KMnO4 reacts with 10 moles FeSO4
Procedure : The solution taken in burette is 0.02M KMnO4 solution. 20ml of
given Mohr’s salt solution is transferred into a conical flask with the help of a
pipette. Then test tube full of Dil.H2SO4 is added to it. Here no indicator is
required. Here KMnO4 acts as self indicator in this redox titration. This solution
is titrated against 0.02M KMnO4 solution taken in burette. Initially the titration
should be very slow. Because it is an auto catalysed reaction. At the end point
volume of KMnO4 run down from the burette is noted. The titrations are
repeated till consecutive readings are obtained
