Redox titration

The 22nd we did an experiment was the a redox titration.
These were the materials:
Materials

Potassium Permanganate

Hydrogen Oxide

Erlenmeyer flask, little cup and pipette

Burette
We first had to put the potassium permanganate into the burette. Then, we had to calculate the amount of potassium permanganate we could dissolve in hydrogen oxide. A redox reaction will take place.

Pouring KMnO4 in the burrette

Pouring KMnO4 in the burrette

Measuring how many mL it needs to be (50ml)

Hydrogen peroxide with 4ml of Sulfuric acid

Getting ready for titration

Final result color

28ml of KMnO4 left in burrette

Guillermo Rodríguez-Tabernero Vidal:


Element/Compound :  Iodine                               Solute organic solvent : it dissolves

Chemical representation : I2                                Reactivity versus water : slightly dissolve- no reactivity

Smell (strong/mild) : Mild                                    Reactivity versus OH : None. doesn't even dissolve

Color : Grey                                                         Ph : Is a solid and Ph is for aqueous solutions

Shine: Yes                                                          Aggregation state : Solid

Melting point : 113,5ºC                                      Boiling point : 184ºC                                     

Magnetism : No                                                  Combustibility : No- sublimates (Watch video)                          

Solubility in water : No
