In permanganate titrations, potassium pemanganats is used an an oxidizing agent in acidic medium. The medium is maintained acidic by the use of dilute sulphuric acid. Potassium permanganate acts as self indicator . The potential equation, when potassium permanganate acts as an oxidizing agent is 2KMnO_(4) + 3H_(2)SO_(4) to K_(2)SO_(4) + 2MnSO_(4) + 3H_(2)O + 5[O] or MnO_(4)^(-) + 8H^(+) + 5e^(-) to Mn^(2+) + 4H_(2)O Before the end point, the solution remains colourless but after teh equivalence point only one extra drop of KMnO_(4) solution imparts pink colour , i.e. appearance of pink colour indicates end point. These titrations are used for estimation of ferrous salts, oxalic acid, oxalates, hydrogen peroxide, As_(2)O_(3) etc. 10 ml of NaHC_(2)O_(4) solution is neutralized by 10 ml of 0.1 M NaOH . 10 of same NaHC_(2)O_(4) solution is oxidized by 10 ml of KMnO_(4) solution in acidic medium . Hence, molarity of KMnO_(4) is |
