Click For Summary
To titrate 0.5g of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2*6H2O, the required volume of 0.10M KMnO4 is calculated based on stoichiometry. The balanced net ionic equation for the reaction in basic solution involves identifying the half-reactions for reduction and oxidation. The molarity of the KMnO4 solution can be determined using the titration data provided, where 13.5 mL of KMnO4 is titrated with 8.75 mL of 0.15M Na2SO3. Indicators are typically used in titrations to signal the endpoint, but are not necessary for the permanganate and iron(II) ion titration due to the distinct color change of KMnO4. Accurate readings in a buret are crucial, and the volume should be recorded to the nearest 0.01 mL for precision.

3) how many mL of the 0.10M KMnO4 are needed to titrate 0.5g of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2*6H2O

4) Using half reactions, write the balanced Net Ionic Equation for the following in a basicls solution:
KMnO4(aq) + Na2SO3(aq) + H2O(l) -> MnO2(s) + Na2SO4(aq) + KOH (aq)
Reduction: ??
Oxidation: ??

5) If 13.5 mL of a KMnO4 solution is titrated to the equivalence point with 8.75 mL of a 0.15M Na2SO3solution. What is the Molarity of the KMnO4 solution?

6) Why do we use an indicator in a titration and why is no indicator used in the titration of permanganate ion with iron (ii) ion?

7) During a titration, if the level of the solution in a 50 mL buret is above the first mark or below the last mark, why is it impossible to determine the precise reading?

8) To What place value should the volume in the 50 mL buret be recorded (included units)
