Redox Titrations Flashcards
Magnate (VII) Ion .vs.
Iron (II) Ion
Iodine .vs.
Thiosulphate
What do roman numerals indicate
the oxidation numbers of the transition elements
Redox equation for magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion
MnO4- + 5Fe++ +8H+ -> Mn++ + 4H2O
where does the MnO4- come from
KMnO4
where does the 5Fe++ come from
FeSO4
where does the 8H+ come from?
H2SO4
what colour is KMnO4
purple
what colour is FeSO4
colourless
what colour is H2SO4
colourless
is indicator used in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
no
what is KMnO4
a powerful oxidising agent
easily reduced
equation for when KMnO4 is reduced
(+7)___ (+2)
Mn —> Mn++
what colour is Mn
purple
what colour is Mn++
colourless
what happens when the Fe is oxidised in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
(+2)____(+3)
Fe++ –> Fe+++
if H2SO4 is not added as H+ ions
(+7)____(+4)
Mn —-> Mn
what colour is Mn (+7)
purple
what colour is Mn (+4)
brown
second function in H2SO4 in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
dilute H2SO4 prevents Fe++ reacting with water
what is it called when Fe++ reacts with water to form a new substance
hydrolysis
what is the only substance that can be used to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
H2SO4
what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
it would react with KMnO4 producing Cl2 gas
what would happen if you used HNO3 to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
it is a powerful oxidising agent and would itself oxidise Fe++ instead of KMnO4
2 places where the Fe ++ ions come from
Iron (ii) sulphate or amm. Iron (ii) sulphate
2 reasons why amm. iron sulphate is better than iron sulphate for the what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
- it is obtained pure and can be weighed accurately PRIMARY STANDARD
- not easily oxidised by air
why is KMnO4 not a primary standard 2
not obtainable in 100% purity
it is decomposed by sunlight
where do you keep KMnO4
in a brown bottle
why is no indicator necessary in the what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
because there is a sharp colour change
what is the colour change in the what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
purple to colourless
what is the indicator in the what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
the KMnO4 acts as it’s own indicator
2 reactants in what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
MnO4- Fe++ and H+
2 products in what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
Fe++ Mn++ and H2O
what is significant about the first drop of KMnO4 to not turn colourless
All of the other reactants are used up
what is the actual end point of the what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
when the first drop of pink colour remains
first few drops of KMnO4 in what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
slow to lose their purple colour
why does the colour change speed up in the what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
one of the products, Mn++ acts as an autocatalyst, but it is not present at the start
what conc is the KMnO4 used in the what would happen if you used HCl to get H+ ions in the magnate (VII) Ion vs Iron (II) Ion titration
about 0.02 M`
a higher conc. of KMnO4 would: 2
- not be 100% soluble in water
2. too powerful an oxidising agent and would oxidise other substances in storage or in handling
