B. Procedure
a) Approximately 1.6 g of a good grade of potassium permanganate was weighed and placed in
a clean 250 mL beaker.
b) The salt was then dissolved by adding 50 mL of water (and stirring). The solution was
decanted into a large beaker and 50 mL of additional water was added to dissolve any
crystals remaining in the first beaker.
c) The procedure was repeated until all the crystals are dissolved. The solution was then diluted
to about 500mL, then transferred to a glass-stoppered bottle and was labeled properly. (Note
1)
a) Three samples of about 0.20 to 0.25 g each of dried sodium oxalate was weighed accurately
into clean 250-mL Erlenmeyer flasks.
b) Each sample was dissolved in about 75 mL of 0.75 M sulfuric acid (20 mL of concentrated
sulfuric acid to 400 mL of water).
c) The first solution was then heated almost to boiling (80 OC-90OC) and titrated slowly with the
permanganate with constant swirling. (The end point was marked by the appearance of a
faint pink color that stays at least for 30 seconds. the temperature should not drop below
60OC during the titration.) The other two solutions were titrated in the same manner.
d) In about 100 mL of the 0.75M sulfuric acid, permanganate solution was added dropwise
until the color matched that of the titrated solution. This volume must be subtracted from the
volume used in the titration.
e) The normality of the permanganate solution should be calculated. The average deviation
should be as small as about 2ppt. (see results)
a. Three portions of the dried material of appropriate size were weighed accurately (Note 2).
b. Each sample was dissolved in 75 mL of 0.75 M sulfuric acid (20 mL concentrated acid to 400
mL of water) in a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. The solution was heated almost to boiling and
was titrated as directed in the standardization of potassium permanganate solution.
