U1-1-3 - Redox Titrations

Question 1

Standard solution

Answer 1

A solution of accurately known concentration

Question 2

Procedure for preparing a standard solution:
* ________________________________
* add to volumetric flask with rinsings
* fill up to mark with water.

Answer 2

Procedure for preparing a standard solution:
* dissolve solid in small volume of water
* add to volumetric flask with rinsings
* fill up to mark with water.

Question 5

Self-indicating reaction

Answer 5

A reaction involving a reactant which changes colour to show the endpoint.

Question 6

If permanganate is used as a titrant, what is the colour change seen during the titration (as the endpoint is reached)?

Answer 6

Colourless to purple

(permanaganate ions are purple, but before the endpoint they will keep getting converted into colourless Mn²⁺ ions)

Question 7

Concordant titres

Answer 7

Titres within 0.2 cm³ of each other

(e.g. 17.2 and 17.4 are concordant)

Question 8

Where do n₁ and n₂ come from?

Answer 8

Balanced equation - NOT calculated using n=cV!

E.g. in the equation shown, n₁ (Fe²⁺) = 6, n₂ (Cr₂O₇^2-) = 1

Question 9

Suggest an improvement

Answer 9

Read burette at eye level

Use a white tile

Remove funnel from burette

Question 10

Suggest what you would use to accurately measure 10 cm³ of solution

Answer 10

Pipette (burette would also work)
