Potassium permanganate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula KMnO 4.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.
It is a redox titration that involves the use of permanganates to measure the amount of analyte present in unknown chemical samples. [1] It involves two steps, namely the titration of the analyte with potassium permanganate solution and then the standardization of potassium permanganate solution with standard sodium oxalate solution. The ...
Potassium permanganate will decompose into potassium manganate, manganese dioxide and oxygen gas: 2 KMnO 4 → K 2 MnO 4 + MnO 2 + O 2 This reaction is a laboratory method to prepare oxygen, but produces samples of potassium manganate contaminated with MnO 2 .
A titration curve is a curve in graph the x-coordinate of which represents the volume of titrant added since the beginning of the titration, and the y-coordinate of which represents the concentration of the analyte at the corresponding stage of the titration (in an acid–base titration, the y-coordinate usually represents the pH of the solution).
The permanganate index is an assessment of water quality.It involves the detection of oxidation by potassium permanganate in an acid medium under hot conditions.. The method is to heat a sample in a boiling water-bath with a known amount of potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid for a fixed period time (10 min).
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.
Complexometric titration (sometimes chelatometry) is a form of volumetric analysis in which the formation of a colored complex is used to indicate the end point of a titration. Complexometric titrations are particularly useful for the determination of a mixture of different metal ions in solution.
potassium permanganate has a molar mass of 158.034(1) g mol −1, and reacts with five moles of electrons per mole of potassium permanganate, so its equivalent weight is 158.034(1) g mol −1 /5 eq mol −1 = 31.6068(3) g eq −1. Historically, the equivalent weights of the elements were often determined by studying their reactions with oxygen.
