    Preparation & standardization of N/10 Potassium Permanganate solution

    Experiment No - 4
    Aim: To Prepare and Standardize of N/10 Potassium Permanganate solution

    Theory:

    Potassium permanganate (KMnO4, m.wt. = 158.0) is a dark purple or brownish black powder or dark
    purple or almost black crystals. It is soluble in cold water and freely soluble in boiling water. It is a strong
    oxidizing agent. Potassium permanganate is widely used as an oxidizing agent in synthetic as well as in
    analytical chemistry. The reactions are governed by pH of the medium. Among six oxidation states of
    manganese from +2 to +7, permanganate, Mn (VII) is the most potent oxidation state in acid as well as in
    alkaline medium. The oxidation by permanganate ion finds extensive application in organic synthesis1-6
    especially since the advent of phase transfer catalysis .

    During oxidation by permanganate, it is evident that permanganate is reduced to various oxidation states
    in acidic, alkaline and neutral media. Furthermore, the mechanism by which the multivalent oxidant
    oxidizes a substrate depends not only on the substrate but also on the medium used for the study. In
    strongly alkaline medium, the stable reduction product of permanganate ion is manganate ion, MnO 42-.
    Potassium permanganate solution is standardized with Oxalic acid. Oxidation-reduction reaction takes
    place. The titration is carried out in acid medium and the reaction occurs as follows:

    5 C2O42- + 2 Mn7+O41- + 16 H+ ⟶ 2 Mn2+ + 8 H2O + 10 CO2

    Materials & equipments:

    Balance, Watch-glass, 250 ml beaker, glass rod, glass wool, funnel, 1 lit vol flask, Burette, 25 ml bulb
    pipette, measuring cylinder, Potassium permanganate, oxalic acid, Sulphuric acid.

    Procedure:

    1. Preparation of N/10 KMnO4 solution

    Mol. Wt of KMnO4 = 158, Eq wt = 158/(7-2) = 31.6

    Weighed about 3.2 gm of Potassium permanganate on a watch-glass. Transferred the content to a 250 ml
    beaker containing cold water and stirred vigorously with a glass rod to effect rapid dissolution. Decanted
    the solution through a small plug of glass wool supported by a funnel, into a 1 litre volumetric flask,
    thereby leaving the undissolved residues in beaker. Added more distilled water to the beaker and repeated
    the above process till all the potassium permanganate gets dissolved. Finally made up the volume to the
    graduated mark and shaken well so as to effect uniform mixing.

    2. Preparation of N/10 Oxalic acid
    Mol. wt of C2H2O4, 2H2O = 126.1, Eq wt = 63.05

    Weighed out accurately about 0.63 gm Oxalic acid and transferred to a 100 ml volumetric flask.
    Dissolved in 100 ml distilled Water. Made up the volume upto the mark with distilled water.

    3. Standardization of N/10 Potassium Permanganate solution

    Pipetted out 25.00 ml of the standard N/10 oxalic acid solution, added to it 5 ml of concentrated sulphuric
    acid along the side of the flask, swirled the contents carefully and warmed upto 70⁰C. Titrated this against
    the potassium permanganate solution from the burette till the pink colour persists for about 20 seconds.

    Observation:

    Calculation:

    V1 x S1 = V2 x S2

    Where, V1 = volume of Potassium Permanganate, S1 = strength of Potassium Permanganate,

    V2 = volume of Oxalic acid, S2 = strength of Oxalic acid
