Ammonium iron(II) sulfate, or Mohr's salt, is the inorganic compound with the formula (NH 4) 2 SO 4 ·Fe(SO 4)·6H 2 O. Containing two different cations, Fe 2+ and NH + 4, it is classified as a double salt of ferrous sulfate and ammonium sulfate. It is a common laboratory reagent because it is readily crystallized, and crystals resist oxidation ...
Depending on the conditions in which the titration is performed, the manganese is reduced from an oxidation of +7 to +2, +4, or +6. In most cases, permanganometry is performed in a very acidic solution in which the following electrochemical reaction occurs: [3] MnO − 4 + 8 H + + 5 e − → Mn 2+ + 4 H 2 O; E° = +1.51 V [4]
In the laboratory, K 2 MnO 4 can be synthesized by heating a solution of KMnO 4 in concentrated KOH solution followed by cooling to give green crystals: [3] 4 KMnO 4 + 4 KOH → 4 K 2 MnO 4 + O 2 + 2 H 2 O. This reaction illustrates the relatively rare role of hydroxide as a reducing agent.
It is a purplish-black crystalline salt, which dissolves in water as K + and MnO − 4 ions to give an intensely pink to purple solution. Potassium permanganate is widely used in the chemical industry and laboratories as a strong oxidizing agent , and also as a medication for dermatitis , for cleaning wounds , and general disinfection .
Complexometric titrations are particularly useful for the determination of a mixture of different metal ions in solution. An indicator capable of producing an unambiguous color change is usually used to detect the end-point of the titration. Complexometric titrations are those reactions where a simple ion is transformed into a complex ion and ...
A permanganate (/ p ər ˈ m æ ŋ ɡ ə n eɪ t, p ɜːr-/) [1] is a chemical compound with the manganate(VII) ion, MnO − 4, the conjugate base of permanganic acid.Because the manganese atom has a +7 oxidation state, the permanganate(VII) ion is a strong oxidising agent.
The analytical (total) concentration of a reactant R at the i th titration point is given by = + [] + where R 0 is the initial amount of R in the titration vessel, v 0 is the initial volume, [R] is the concentration of R in the burette and v i is the volume added. The burette concentration of a reactant not present in the burette is taken to be ...
Mohr's salt, ammonium iron(II) sulfate, [NH 4] 2 [Fe(H 2 O) 6](SO 4) 2.. A double salt is a salt that contains two or more different cations or anions.Examples of double salts include alums (with the general formula M I M III (SO 4) 2 ·12H 2 O) and Tutton's salts (with the general formula (M I) 2 M II (SO 4) 2 ·6H 2 O).
