Preparation of 0.05M Standard Solution of Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate

This document provides instructions for a chemistry practical class experiment involving the preparation of a 0.05M standard solution of ferrous ammonium sulfate and the titration of that solution against a potassium permanganate solution of unknown concentration. The summary is: 1) Students are instructed to carefully weigh ingredients and follow procedures to prepare a 0.05M solution of ferrous ammonium sulfate. 2) This standard solution will then be titrated against a potassium permanganate solution to determine the unknown molarity of the permanganate solution. 3) Calculations are shown for determining the molarity of potassium permanganate based on the titration results and balanced chemical equation.

Chemistry Practical Class 12

Instructions:
1. Read the document before you start writing the experiment.
2. Follow the instructions given in the document for writing experiment in the journal.
3. Use blue / black ink ball point pen only.
4. Practical Journal should be written in single colour ink only.
5. Material to be written on unruled page should also be written in pen only.
6. Do not write anything with pencil in journal.

Experiment-2
Part A:
Aim:   Preparation of 0.05M standard solution of ferrous ammonium sulfate.
Material Required:
Apparatus: Standard flask (250 mL), Funnel, Chemical balance, beaker (250 mL), watch glass, glass
rod, spatula.
Chemicals: Ferrous ammonium sulphate.
Theory: Calculation for weighing oxalic acid for 0.05 M solution.
Molecular weight of ferrous ammonium sulphate (FAS) = 392 (FeSO4(NH4)2SO4 . 6H2O)
1M of FAS = 392 g/1000 mL
Therefore 0.05M = (0.05 X 392 X 250) / 1000 = 4.9 g
Procedure:
1. Weigh an empty watch glass using a chemical balance.
2. Weigh 4.9 g of oxalic acid accurately in the watch glass.
3. Dissolve weighed oxalic acid in minimum amount of water in 250 mL beaker and transfer it
to 250 mL standard flask.
4. Now wash the 250 mL beaker with distilled water.
5. Make the solution up to the marked point with distilled water and make sure the FAS fully
dissolved.
6. This solution is 0.05M standard solution of FAS.
Part B
Aim: To determine the concentration/molarity of KMnO4 solution by titrating it against a 0.1 M
standard solution of ferrous ammonium sulphate.
Material Required:
Apparatus: Standard flask (250 mL), Burette (50 mL), Burette stand , Pipette (20 mL), Conical flask
(250 mL), Funnel, flask, Glazed tile(white), Burner, Wire gauze, Chemical balance, beaker (250 mL),
watch glass, glass rod, measuring cyclinder (50 mL).
Chemicals: 0.05 M ferrous ammonium sulphate, Potassium permanganate solution, dil. Sulphuric
acid
Theory: In the present experiment, potassium permanganate acts as a powerful oxidising agent.
Although KMnO4 acts as an oxidising agent in alkaline medium also, for quantitative analysis mostly
acidic medium is used. Since, FAS acts as a reducing agent, it can be titrated against potassium
permanganate in the acidic medium according to the following equation:

The oxidation number of iron in Mohr’s salt is +2. Iron is oxidised during the reaction and
its oxidation number changes from +2 to +3. In this titration heating of ferrous ammonium
sulphate solution is not required because reaction rate is very high even at room
temperature. Also, at high temperatures, ferrous ions may be oxidised to ferric ions by
oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the experiment.

Procedure

1. Rinse and fill a clean burette with potassium permanganate solution.


2. Remove the air bubble, if any, from the nozzle of the burette by releasing some solution
through it. Adjust the meniscus to zero as initial reading.
3. Take 20 mL of 0.05 M FAS solution in a conical flask and 1test-tube of dil.H2 SO4 to it to
prevent the formation of any precipitate of manganese dioxide during the course of the
titration.
4. Add KMnO4 solution dropwise to the FAS solution while swirling the contents of the flask
gently. The violet colour of permanganate solution is discharged on reaction with oxalic acid.
5. The end point is indicated by the appearance of permanent light pink colour due to a slight
excess of permanganate solution.
6. Repeat the titration till two constant readings are obtained. Since the solution of KMnO4 is of
dark colour, the upper meniscus should be considered for noting the burette readings.
7. Record the readings in observation table and calculate the strength of potassium permanganate
solution in mols/litre.
To be written on unruled page of journal.

Calculations:

KMnO4 = FAS

Where a1 and a2 are stoichiometric coefficient of oxalic acid and KMnO 4 in a balanced chemical
equation.

1M2V2 = 5M1V1
M1 = (5M1V1/1M2V2)
Strength = Molarity x Molar mass
