Redox Titration Lab Report
Determination of Fe by Redox Titration

October 21, 2011

Abstract In this experiment the percent of iron in an unknown sample will be determined by using a redox titration and then compared to a different method. A primary standard which in this case is ferrous ammonium sulfate will be used to standardize potassium dichromate. The standardized potassium dichromate will then be used to titrate the unknown iron sample using the indicator p-diphenylamine sulfonate.

The standardized potassium dichromate which has a concentration around 0.017 M is then titrated into the unknown iron sample which is dissolved in deionized water. The unknown sample is titrated to its end point using the indicator p-diphenylamine sulfonate, the acid mixture helps to make the end point sharper which would make it more accurately and more easily determined. The equation of the reaction taking place is: 6 Fe2+ + Cr2O72- +14 H+ --------> 6 Fe3+ + 2 Cr3+ + 7 H2O This equation can be used to convert moles of the dichromate ion to moles of the unknown iron to determine the percent of iron contained in the sample.

To prepare the acid mixture add 12.5 mL of both concentrated phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid to 500 mL of deionized water and mix well.
To prepare the potassium dichromate solution dissolve about 1.25 g of potassium dichromate in deionized water and dilute to 250 mL.

To standardize the potassium dichromate weigh out about 0.5 g of ferrous ammonium sulfate, hexahydrate into a 250 mL flask and dissolve in 50 mL of deionized water and mix for two minutes. Then add 50 mL of the acid mixture previously made and add three to four drops of p-diphenylamine sulfonate indicator to the solution. Then titrate with the potassium dichromate until a change in color from green to purple occurs. Repeat these steps for three more trials.
To titrate the unknown sample of Fe weigh out about 0.5 g of the unknown into a 250 mL flask and dissolve the sample

    When iron is mixed to Copper (Ⅱ) Chloride; the product will be copper and iron chloride. However, in this experiment, we do not have the information of the oxidation number for iron nails. There are 2 different oxidation numbers for iron; that are 2 or 3. We will need to check each of the equations to find out the moles of each element in the equation. Then we can compare the ratio between the mole and the mass of iron and copper; that will be measured during the experiment. Finally because of the balanced equation the ratio of the mass and the mole has to be the same; by this we can check the actual equation and the actual oxidation number of iron in this reaction. This process will finally end us up of finding out which oxidation number of iron is used in this experiment.…

    Be sure to stir the mixture for 2 minutes after adding sodium thiosulfate. Repeat the potassium iodide-starch test to make sure that there are no oxidize agent left in the mixture. Once done, the mixture will be tested for it pH level. If the mixture is too acidic, then add sodium bicarbonate, as necessary, to reduce acidity. In the next step, add enough sodium chloride so that a small amount will remain after stirring. This will decrease the solubility of organic compounds and increase the amount of product that can be collected. Decant the liquid part of the mixture into a separatory funnel. Wait 5 minutes for the layers to separate and then drain the bottom layer into the Erlenmeyer flask and the top layer into a vial. Use a small pipette to take out any bubble in the vial. Add a small amount of sodium sulfate, a drying agent, to the vial and let it sit for 5…
