高锰酸钾氧化还原滴定

用KMnO₄测定铁(II)浓度

Titrations Advanced (University) 50 分钟 ~$18.00

目标

用标准高锰酸钾溶液(自身指示剂)滴定硫酸亚铁溶液,测定其浓度。

背景

Potassium permanganate is a powerful oxidizing agent that reacts with Fe2+ in acidic solution. MnO4- (purple) is reduced to Mn2+ (nearly colorless), so permanganate acts as its own indicator. The endpoint occurs when a single drop of excess KMnO4 produces a permanent pink/purple color.

安全警告

  • KMnO₄ stains skin and clothing permanently
  • H₂SO₄ is corrosive
  • Wear safety goggles and gloves throughout
  • Wipe up KMnO₄ spills immediately

所需PPE

材料

  • Iron(II) sulfate solution (100 mL)
    Unknown concentration
  • Potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) (100 mL)
    0.02M standardized
  • Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) (50 mL)
    1M
  • Distilled water (200 mL)

设备

50 mL burette Burette stand and clamp 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask 25 mL pipette Pipette filler White tile

步骤

1

Rinse the burette with KMnO₄ solution, then fill to the 0 mL mark. Record the meniscus reading (read from the top of the meniscus since KMnO₄ is opaque).

5 分钟 KMnO₄ stains — handle carefully
2

Pipette exactly 25.0 mL of iron(II) sulfate solution into the Erlenmeyer flask.

3 分钟
3

Add 10 mL of 1M sulfuric acid to the flask to ensure acidic conditions.

2 分钟 Handle acid carefully
4

Slowly add KMnO₄ from the burette while swirling. Each drop will decolorize as Fe2+ reduces MnO4-.

10 分钟
5

As the endpoint approaches, add drop by drop until a faint permanent pink/purple color persists for 30 seconds.

5 分钟
6

Record the final burette reading and calculate the volume used.

2 分钟
7

Repeat at least twice for concordant results.

15 分钟
8

Calculate the Fe2+ concentration using the balanced equation: MnO4- + 5Fe2+ + 8H+ → Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O.

5 分钟

预期结果

The solution should transition from colorless to a persistent faint pink/purple at the endpoint. The 1:5 molar ratio of KMnO₄ to Fe2+ should yield an accurate concentration.

清理

Dilute waste solutions and dispose of KMnO₄ waste according to lab protocols. Rinse the burette thoroughly with water. Clean any stains with dilute acid or sodium sulfite.
