    This document discusses redox titrations and provides examples of calculating concentrations using redox reactions. It begins by explaining that redox titrations involve using a known concentration of an oxidizing or reducing agent to determine an unknown concentration of the other species. Example problems then demonstrate how to (1) balance the redox equation, (2) organize known quantities, (3) calculate moles of known species, (4) use mole ratios to find moles of unknown species, and (5) calculate concentration, volume, or mass of the unknown from its moles.

    Redox Stoichiometry (Titrations)

    · In a redox titration, a known concentration of an oxidizing agent is used


    to find an unknown concentration of a reducing agent, or vice-versa.
    · Applications include finding the iron content of water or the Vitamin C
    content in foods.

    General Steps:
    1. Balance the redox equation
    2. Organize data for the given and required substances
    3. Find the moles of the given substance
    If given volume and concentration, use n=Cv
    If given mass, find molar mass, then use n= mM
    4. Find the moles of the required substances, using mole ratio
    5. Convert moles to concentration (C=n/v) or volume (v=n/C)
    or mass (m=nM) of required substance
    Example 1:
    The following example involves the titration of a solution of sodium oxalate,
    Na2C2O4(aq) with a solution of potassium permanganate, KMnO4(aq).

    Important Note:
    · The permanganate ion, MnO4-, is often used as an oxidizing agent
    because of its deep purple color.
    · It acts as its own indicator.
    · It is reduced to pale pink Mn2+ by the oxalate ions.
    · Once all oxalate ions have been oxidized the next drop of permanganate
    ions turns the solution a faint purple color, signaling the endpoint of the
    titration.

    Find the volume of 0.200 M solution of MnO4- which will react with 50.0 mL of
    0.100 M solution of C2O42-.
    MnO4- + C2O42-  Mn2+ + CO2

    Example 2:
    A 23.30 ml sample of KMnO4 solution is decolorized by 0.1111g of oxalic acid
    (H2C2O4). The products are Mn2+ and CO2 gas. Calculate the concentration of
    KMnO4 using the following equation:

    Example 3:
    The oxidation of Fe2+ ions by permanganate in acidic solution is accompanied
    by the formation of Fe3+ ions and Mn2+ ions. How many moles of FeSO4 would
    be oxidized by 100.0 ml of 0.02118 mol/L KMnO4 solution.
    Fe2+ + MnO4-  Fe3+ + Mn2+

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY WORKSHEET #3

    1. In a redox titration 12.50 mL of 0.0800 mol/L K2Cr2O7 (aq) was used in


    acidic solution to oxidize Sn2+ (aq) ions to Sn4+ (aq) ions. The volume of
    K2Cr2O7 (aq) used was just sufficient to oxidize all the Sn2+ (aq) in 10.0 mL
    of the solution. Calculate the concentration of the Sn2+(aq) ions in the
    solution according to the following unbalanced equation.
    (Ans: 0.300 mol/L)
    2- 2+ 4+ 3+
    Cr2O7 (aq) + Sn (aq)  Sn (aq) + Cr (aq)

    2. The copper (II) ions in a solution can be converted to copper metal by


    trickling the solution over scrap iron. The reaction produced iron (II) ions
    from scrap iron. If the process produces 25.00 L of solution containing
    0.00200 mol/L of Fe2+(aq) ions, what mass of copper is produced?
    (Ans: 3.18g)

    Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s)  Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s)

    3. What volume of 0.0500 mol/L KmnO4 (aq) is needed to oxidize all the Br-
    (aq) ions in 25.0 mL of an acidic 0.200 mol/L NaBr(aq) solution according to
    the following unbalanced equation.
    (Ans: v = 20.0mL)
    - - 2+
    MnO4 (aq) + Br (aq)  Br2 (aq) + Mn (aq)

    4. Aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide sold in pharmacies are usually


    approximately 3% H2O2 by mass. However, in solution, hydrogen peroxide
    decomposes into water and oxygen.

    What is the percent by mass of a solution of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2,


    prepared from 1.423 g of H2O2 which is titrated with 40.22 mL of 0.01143
    mol/L KMnO4(aq).
    The reaction occurs in an acidified solution.

    (Hint: Find mass of H2O2 actually present, then mass %) (Ans:


    2.747%)

    Balanced equation:

    5H2O2(aq) + 2MnO4-(aq) + 6H+(aq)  2Mn2+(aq) + 5O2(g) + 8H2O(l)
