EXPERIMENT 1

AIM:

To determine the no. of water molecules of crystallization in Mohrs

salt provided standard K2Cr2O7sol (0.1N). Using diphenylamine as

internal indicator.

APPARATUS:

Burette, burette stand, pipette, beaker, conical flask, funnel,

measuring cylinder.

CHEMICAL USED:

Mohrs salt, H2SO4, H3PO3, Dipheyl amine, K2Cr2O7

THEORY:

This titration is a type of redox reactions. Here, the principle

involved is that ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) present in Mohrs salt.

[FeSO4(NH4)26H2O] is oxidized by potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7)

to ferric sulphate [Fe2(SO4)3] in the presence of dil. H2SO4using

diphenyl amine [(C6H5)2NH2] as internal indicator. This reaction

involved:

Cr2O72-+ 14H++ 6e-2Cr3++ 7H2O

[Fe2+Fe3++ e-] x 6

--------------------------------------------------------------

Cr2O72-+ 14H++ 6Fe2+2Cr3++ 6Fe3++7H2O


3/36

At the end point, all the ferrous ions (Fe2+) present in the solution get

completely oxidized to ferric ions (Fe3+) by chromate ions (Cr2O72-).

As soon as a slight excess of potassium dichromate solution is

added, it brings about the oxidation of diphenylamine resulting in the

formation of a blue coloured complex named diphenyl benzidine. At

the end point a sharp change from colourful solution to deep blue

solution is observed.

EXPERIMENT 2

AIM:

Determination of iron content in an iron are by titrating it against

standard K2Cr2O7solution using potassium ferricyanide [K3Fe(CN)6],

H2SO4, FeSO4as an external indicator.

APPARATUS:

Burette, burette stand, conical flask, white glazed tile, beaker, glass

rod, measuring cylinder, funnel.

CHEMICAL USED:

K2Cr2O7, [K3Fe(CN)6], H2SO4, FeSO4

THEORY:

This estimation is based on the principle that the solution containing

ferrous ammonium sulphate can be quantitatively titrated against

standard K2Cr2O7solnin the presence of H2SO4using potassium

ferrocynide as an external indicator.

Oxides of ferrous sulphate present in Mohrs salt into ferric

sulphate in the presence of dil H2SO4.[K3Fe(CN)6] is used as an

external indicator gives a greenish blue colour due to formation of

ferro-ferricyanide complex.

EXPERIMENT 7

AIM:

To determine the type & extent of alkalinity of given water sample.

APPARATUS:

Burette, pipette, conical flask, beaker, measuring flask.

CHEMICALS:

Water sample, V/10 HCl, phenolphthalein and methyl orange

indicator.

THEORY:

Alkalinity of water is mainly due to the presence of the following.

(i) Hydroxides only(ii)

Carbonates only

(iii) Bicarbonates only(iv) Hydroxides and carbonates(v) Carbonates & bicarbonatesSince OH-& HCO3

-ion cannot co-exist because both combine

together to form carbonates.

OH + HCO3- CO3

2-+H2O


23/36

The extent of alkanity present in a water sample is determined by

titrating the water sample (titrate) with a standard acid (titrant) using

phenolphthalein indicator and alkalinity if found out in terms of

CaCO3equivalent by using normality equation. This is called

phenolphthalein alkalinity (P). At this point, complete neutralization

of hydroxide and conversion carbonate to bicarbonate takes place.

OH- + H+H2O -----(i)

CO32- + H+HCO3

- -----(ii)

HCO3-+ H+H2O + CO2

-----(iii)

Now titrate the same alkality solnusing methyl orange indicator &

alkalinity is calculated in terms of caco3equivalents. This alkalinity is

called mothyl orange alkalinity, alkalinity due to diff. ions can be

calculated. The results are summarized in the following table.

Case I P=O NIL NIL M

Case II P=1/2M NIL 2 PORM NIL

Case III P1/2M (2P-M) 2 (M-P) NIL

Case V P=M P=M NIL NIL

INDICATORS: Phenol phtalien and methyl orange.

END POINTS:Pink to colourless (phenolphthalein),

Yellow to red (methyl orange)

N1 V1= N2 V2

(acid) (water)

1/10(V3-V1) = N2 x 20

N2= 1/10 x (V3-V1)/20

RESULT:

Phenolphthalein alkalinity (P) = 1682.5ppm of CaCO3

Methyl orange alkalinity (M) = 1082.5 ppm of CaCO3

(To find out the alkalinity in terms of individual fans, find out to which

case the values of P & M falls out from table, calculate the amount of

individual ions as below.)

Alkalinity due to OH-ions = 2P-M = 2282.5 ppm

Alkalinity due to CO32-ions = 2(M-P) = 1200 ppm

Alkalinity due to HCO3-ions = Nil

PRECAUTIONS:

1. Phenolphthalein indicator should be added first & then methylorange.2. The vol. of indicator should be same in all observations.3. Constant shaking of solnmixture should be done.
