CHEM 121L General Chemistry Laboratory Revision 3.0 The Determination of Oxalate Ion in Ferric Oxalate Trihydrate using Titrimetry  Learn how to perform a quantitative chemical analysis.  Learn how to perform a titration.  Learn about Oxidation-Reduction reactions. In this laboratory exercise, we will determine the Percentage Oxalate Ion (C O 2-) in the 2 4 Potassium Ferric Oxalate Trihydrate (K [Fe(C O ) ]•3H O) sample we synthesized previously. 3 2 4 3 2 This will be accomplished using a technique called Titration; a type of Volumetric Analysis. This type of analysis involves adding a Potassium Permanganate (KMnO ) solution, whose 4 concentration is previously determined, to a solution of the Oxalate until the reaction between these species is complete. By knowing the reaction stoichiometry, the volume Permanganate Ion (MnO4-) solution required for complete reaction, and the concentration of the solution used, we can quantitatively determine the mass percentage of Oxalate Ion present in our sample. This can then be compared with the expected mass percentage Oxalate based on our compounds chemical formula and therefore allow us to confirm or discount the solid we have generated is indeed the trioxalate of Iron. A volumetric analysis involves measuring the volume of a solution of known concentration, the Titrant, Permanganate Ion in the present case, which is needed to completely react with an Analyte, the Oxalate Ion of our Ferric Oxalate sample. 2- - + 2+ 5 C O (aq) + 2 MnO (aq) +
