    1. The document describes an experiment to determine the molarity of a potassium permanganate (KMnO4) solution and then use it to analyze the percentage of oxalate in an unknown sample. 2. Standardization of the KMnO4 solution involved titrating it against sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4) and calculating the molarity. 3. This allowed the percentage of oxalate in an unknown sample to be determined through titration and using the 5:2 molar ratio of oxalate to permanganate in the redox reaction.

    :Points to discuss
    It is necessary to heat the solution gently because this reaction proceeds .1
    .slowly at room temperature

    5C2O42– (aq) + 2MnO4– (aq) + 16H+ (aq) → 10CO2 (g) + 8H2O (l) + 2Mn2+ (aq) .2

    The solution is colorless before the end point, and that refers to the production of
    the manganese(II) ions. At the end point and after it the solution will has the
    color of pink or purple and that refers to the excess permanganate ions which
    .have an intensely purple color

    :The molar ration between the reagents is 5:2 as below .3

    –
    x mol C2O42– = 2× mol MnO4 5

    .Permanganate ion MnO4– is a very strong oxidizing agent .4

    :The experiment is divided into two parts .5

    A) Standardization of KMnO4 Solution

    B) The Determination of Oxalate in Unknown

    :Errors and sources of errors

    In the first part of the experiment the standard deviation = 1.17 x 10 ^-3 which
    shows that the molarity we obtained = 0.0182 M is very close to the real
    .value

    In the second part of the experiment the standard deviation= 2.72 which
    shows that there are a small percentage of errors due the titration and due
    .the three trails

    :Conclusion
    In the end of this experiment we could determine by the titration between
    the potassium permanganate and the sodium oxalate and by using the molar
    ratio 5:2 the molarity of the potassium permanganate and it was equal to
    .0.0182

    We also could determine the percentage of the oxalate in an unknown and it


    .% was equal to 44.2
