The permanganate ion (MnO4- ) is often used in redox titrations. The strongly colored (violet) the permanganate ion forms the slightly pink Mn2+ ion upon reaction in acidic solution. Permanganate solutions are prepared by dissolving solid potassium permanganate. At preparation and storage of the solution, however, often forms brownstone (MnO 2 (s)) which must filtered before use. The concentration of the solution is therefore determined directly before use by titration in sulfuric acid solution against sodium oxalate (Na2 C2 O4 ; easily soluble salt that serves as the primary standard) whereby the oxalic acid forms carbon dioxide (gas). Calculate the concentration of a potassium permanganate solution from the following data. 0.6501 gram of sodium oxalate is weighed and consumes 20.00 mL of the prepared the potassium permanganate solution.
