Part 1· 3 steps
Calculate the concentration of the oxalate solution.
Determine the mass of sodium oxalate () used.
From Table 1, the mass of oxalate used is .
Calculate the number of moles of sodium oxalate.
The molar mass of is .
Calculate the concentration of the oxalate solution.
From Procedure 1, the sodium oxalate was dissolved in a volumetric flask.
Volume of solution = .Rounding to three significant figures:
Part 2
Calculate the mean titre.
Identify the accurate burette readings from Table 2.
The accurate titres are and . The approximate titre () is usually discarded for mean calculations.
Calculate the mean of the accurate titres.
This matches the value written on the paper.
Part 3
Calculate the concentration of the potassium permanganate solution.
Write the balanced chemical equation and determine the mole ratio.
The reaction between permanganate ions () and oxalate ions (), in acidic medium, is:
From the balanced equation, the mole ratio of () to () is .
So, and .List the known values.
- Concentration of () = (from Question 1)
- Volume of () = (from Procedure 2)
- Volume of () = (mean titre from Question 2)
Use the titration formula to calculate the concentration of .
The titration formula is:
Rearranging to solve for :
Substitute the known values:
