Redox Titration

Unit 3⏱ 90 minGuided Inquiry

Overview

How can we determine the oxidation state of manganese in a redox titration?

Objectives

  • How can we determine the oxidation state of manganese in a redox titration?
  • Connect observations to AP Chemistry models and calculations.
⚠️ Wear protective goggles and an apron. Follow your teacher’s safety directions for all chemicals and equipment.

Materials Needed

Procedure

1

Design an experimental procedure that will determine the oxidation state of manganese at the end of each titration with your solution of 10 mL of 0.10 M NaHSO3.

2

You must do at least three titrations for accuracy and take an average.

3

Each titration requires that the NaHSO3 be in acidic solution.

4

Use no more than 2.00 mL of 1.00 M H2SO4 for each 10 mL sample of 0.10 M NaHSO3.

5

You may need to add more water to cover the stir bar.

6

Show your proposed procedure to your teacher before attempting the experiment yourself.

7

Observations (at least 5) Data: Redox Titration Data Create your own data table from the procedure you have designed.

8

Make sure to include a title for this table.

Pre-Lab Questions

1. A measurement or procedural deviation occurs during the experiment.
