Redox Titration: Determination of the Percentage of Iron in a Sample INTRODUCTION The concentrations of redox-active species can be determined by redox titrations. In a redox titration‚ a measured sample of the unknown is titrated against a standard solution of a substance that will oxidize or reduce the unknown. In the present experiment you will take a sample containing iron‚ add acid to dissolve it [thereby converting all the iron to iron(II)]‚ then use a solution containing permanganate
