Part 1· 3 steps

Calculate the concentration of the oxalate solution.

  1. Determine the mass of sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4) used.

    From Table 1, the mass of oxalate used is 1.73 g1.73 \text{ g}.

  2. Calculate the number of moles of sodium oxalate.

    The molar mass of Na2C2O4\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 is 134.0 g/mol134.0 \text{ g/mol}.

    Moles=MassMolar mass\text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} Moles of Na2C2O4=1.73 g134.0 g/mol\text{Moles of } \text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 = \frac{1.73 \text{ g}}{134.0 \text{ g/mol}} Moles of Na2C2O4=0.0129104 mol\text{Moles of } \text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 = 0.0129104 \text{ mol}
  3. Calculate the concentration of the oxalate solution.

    From Procedure 1, the sodium oxalate was dissolved in a 250 cm3250 \text{ cm}^3 volumetric flask.
    Volume of solution = 250 cm3=0.250 dm3250 \text{ cm}^3 = 0.250 \text{ dm}^3.

    Concentration=MolesVolume (in dm3)\text{Concentration} = \frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume (in dm}^3)} Concentration of Na2C2O4=0.0129104 mol0.250 dm3\text{Concentration of } \text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 = \frac{0.0129104 \text{ mol}}{0.250 \text{ dm}^3} Concentration of Na2C2O4=0.0516416 mol/dm3\text{Concentration of } \text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 = 0.0516416 \text{ mol/dm}^3

    Rounding to three significant figures:

    Concentration of oxalate solution=0.0516 mol/dm3\boxed{\text{Concentration of oxalate solution} = 0.0516 \text{ mol/dm}^3}

Part 2

Mean titre=26.75 cm3\text{Mean titre} = 26.75 \text{ cm}^3

Calculate the mean titre.

  1. Identify the accurate burette readings from Table 2.

    The accurate titres are 26.7 cm326.7 \text{ cm}^3 and 26.8 cm326.8 \text{ cm}^3. The approximate titre (28.1 cm328.1 \text{ cm}^3) is usually discarded for mean calculations.

  2. Calculate the mean of the accurate titres.

    Mean titre=26.7 cm3+26.8 cm32\text{Mean titre} = \frac{26.7 \text{ cm}^3 + 26.8 \text{ cm}^3}{2} Mean titre=53.5 cm32\text{Mean titre} = \frac{53.5 \text{ cm}^3}{2} Mean titre=26.75 cm3\text{Mean titre} = 26.75 \text{ cm}^3

    This matches the value written on the paper.

    Mean titre=26.75 cm3\boxed{\text{Mean titre} = 26.75 \text{ cm}^3}

Part 3

Concentration of KMnO4 solution=0.0193 mol/dm3\text{Concentration of KMnO}_4 \text{ solution} = 0.0193 \text{ mol/dm}^3

Calculate the concentration of the potassium permanganate solution.

  1. Write the balanced chemical equation and determine the mole ratio.

    The reaction between permanganate ions (MnO4−\text{MnO}_4^-) and oxalate ions (C2O42−\text{C}_2\text{O}_4^{2-}), in acidic medium, is:

    2MnO4−(aq)+5C2O42−(aq)+16H+(aq)⟶2Mn2+(aq)+10CO2(g)+8H2O(l)2\text{MnO}_4^-\text{(aq)} + 5\text{C}_2\text{O}_4^{2-}\text{(aq)} + 16\text{H}^+\text{(aq)} \longrightarrow 2\text{Mn}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + 10\text{CO}_2\text{(g)} + 8\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}

    From the balanced equation, the mole ratio of KMnO4\text{KMnO}_4 (MnO4−\text{MnO}_4^-) to Na2C2O4\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 (C2O42−\text{C}_2\text{O}_4^{2-}) is 2:52:5.
    So, nKMnO4=2n_{\text{KMnO}_4} = 2 and nNa2C2O4=5n_{\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4} = 5.

  2. List the known values.

    • Concentration of Na2C2O4\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 (MNa2C2O4M_{\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4}) = 0.0516416 mol/dm30.0516416 \text{ mol/dm}^3 (from Question 1)
    • Volume of Na2C2O4\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 (VNa2C2O4V_{\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4}) = 25.0 cm325.0 \text{ cm}^3 (from Procedure 2)
    • Volume of KMnO4\text{KMnO}_4 (VKMnO4V_{\text{KMnO}_4}) = 26.75 cm326.75 \text{ cm}^3 (mean titre from Question 2)
  3. Use the titration formula to calculate the concentration of KMnO4\text{KMnO}_4.

    The titration formula is:

    MKMnO4VKMnO4nKMnO4=MNa2C2O4VNa2C2O4nNa2C2O4\frac{M_{\text{KMnO}_4} V_{\text{KMnO}_4}}{n_{\text{KMnO}_4}} = \frac{M_{\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4} V_{\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4}}{n_{\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4}}

    Rearranging to solve for MKMnO4M_{\text{KMnO}_4}:

    MKMnO4=MNa2C2O4VNa2C2O4nKMnO4VKMnO4nNa2C2O4M_{\text{KMnO}_4} = \frac{M_{\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4} V_{\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4} n_{\text{KMnO}_4}}{V_{\text{KMnO}_4} n_{\text{Na}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4}}

    Substitute the known values:

    MKMnO4=(0.0516416 mol/dm3)×(25.0 cm3)×2(26.75 cm3)×5M_{\text{KMnO}_4} = \frac{(0.0516416 \text{ mol/dm}^3) \times (25.0 \text{ cm}^3) \times 2}{(26.75 \text{ cm}^3) \times 5} MKMnO4=2.58208133.75 mol/dm3M_{\text{KMnO}_4} = \frac{2.58208}{133.75} \text{ mol/dm}^3 MKMnO4=0.0193056 mol/dm3M_{\text{KMnO}_4} = 0.0193056 \text{ mol/dm}^3

    Rounding to three significant figures:

    Concentration of KMnO4 solution=0.0193 mol/dm3\boxed{\text{Concentration of KMnO}_4 \text{ solution} = 0.0193 \text{ mol/dm}^3}
