EXPERIMENT No. 1 AIM (a) To prepare 100ml of M/20 solution of oxalic acid. (b)Using this calculate the molarity and strength of the given KMnO4 solution. APPARATUS AND CHEMICALS REQUIRED- Oxalic acid, weighing bottle, weight box, volumetric flask, funnel, distilled water, chemical balance, beakers, conical flask, funnel, burette, pipette, clamp stand, tile, dilute H2SO4, KMnO4 solution. THEORY- (a) Oxalic acid is a dicarboxylic acid having molar mass 126gmol-1. It is a primary standard and has the molecular formula COOH-COOH.2H2O. Its equivalent mass is 126/2 = 63 as its n factor is 2 as per the following reaction: COOH-COOH 2CO2 + 2H+ + 2e-. Calculation of amount of oxalic acid to be weighed to prepare 100ml M/20 solution: wt. M = Mol. Wt V(ml) PROCEDURE: 1. Weigh a clean dry bottle using a chemical balance. 2. Add more weights to the pan containing the weights for the weighing bottle. 3. Add oxalic acid in small amounts to the weighing bottle, so that the pans are balanced. 4. Remove the weighing bottle from the pan. 5. Using a funnel, transfer the oxalic acid to the volumetric flask. 6. Add a few drops of distilled water to dissolve the oxalic acid. 7. Make up the volume to the required level using distilled water. 8. The standard solution is prepared. X 1000

(b) THEORY1. The reaction between KMnO4 and oxalic acid is a redox reaction and the titration is therefore called a redox titration. 2. Oxalic acid is the reducing agent and KMnO4 is the oxidizing agent. 3. KMnO4 acts as an oxidizing agent in all the mediums; i.e. acidic, basic and neutral medium. 4. KMnO4 acts as the strongest oxidizing agent in the acidic medium and therefore dil. H2SO4 is added to the conical flask before starting the titration. 5. The titration between oxalic acid and KMnO4 is a slow reaction, therefore heat the oxalic acid solution to about 600C to increase the rate of the reaction. 6.

END POINT- Colourless to light pink (KMnO4 in the burette) PROCEDURE1. Fill the burette with KMnO4 solution. 2. Pipette out 10ml. of oxalic acid solution into the conical flask. 3. Add half a test tube of dil. H2SO4 and heat the solution to about 600C to increase the rate of the reaction. 4. Keep a glazed tile under the burette and place the conical flask on it. 5. Note down the initial reading of the burette. 6. Run down the KMnO4 solution into the conical flask drop wise with shaking. 7. Stop the titration when a permanent pink colour is obtained in the solution. 8. This is the end point. Note down the final burette reading. 9. Repeat the experiment until three concordant values are obtained. OBSERVATION TABLE: (TO BE PUT UP ON THE BLANK SIDE USING A PENCIL) Volume of Oxalic Acid solution taken =

APPARATUS AND CHEMICALS REQUIRED- Mohrs salt, weighing bottle, weight box, volumetric flask, funnel, distilled water, chemical balance, dilute H2SO4, beakers, conical flask, funnel, burette, pipette, clamp stand, tile, KMnO4 solution. THEORY- (a) Mohrs salt having the formula FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O has molar mass 392gmol-1. It is a primary standard.

EXPERIMENT No.3 AIM: To prepare a colloidal sol of starch. THEORY: Starch forms a lyophilic sol with water which is the dispersion medium. The sol of starch can be prepared by water to about 1000C. The sol is quite stable and is not affected by the presence of an electrolytic impurity. PROCEDURE:

RESULT- Colloidal sol of starch has been prepared. EXPERIMENT No.4 AIM: To prepare a colloidal sol of ferric hydroxide. THEORY: Ferric hydroxide forms a lyophobic sol with water which is the dispersion medium. It is prepared by the hydrolysis of ferric chloride with boiling distilled water as per the reaction: FeCl3 (aq) + 3H2O Fe(OH)3 + 3HCl (aq). The HCl formed during the reaction tries to destabilize the sol and therefore should be removed from the sol by dialysis. A wine red sol of ferric hydroxide is obtained. PROCEDURE:
EXPERIMENT Take 50 ml of distilled water in a beaker and heat it to about 1000C. Add the solution of FeCl3 to water with stirring. OBSERVATION A wine red sol is obtained INFERENCE Sol of ferric hydroxide has been prepared

EXPERIMENT No.5 AIM: To prepare crystals of Mohrs salt. THEORY: Mohrs salt i.e. ferrous ammonium sulphate [FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O] is a double salt. It can be prepared by making equimolar solution of hydrated ferrous sulphate and ammonium sulphate in minimum amount of water. A few ml of dil. H2SO4 is added to prevent the hydrolysis of FeSO4.7H2O. Cooling of the hot saturated solution yields light green crystals of Mohrs salt. FeSO4.7H2O + (NH4)2 SO4 FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O + H2O RESULT- Colour of the crystals: Light green Shape of the crystals: Monoclinic. NOTE DRY THE CRYSTALS, PUT THEM IN A ZIP POUCH AND PASTE THEM IN YOUR FILES ON THE BLANK PAGE. EXPERIMENT No.6 AIM: To prepare crystals of Potash alum. THEORY: Potash alum, a double salt, commonly known as fitkari has the formula K2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.24H2O. It can be prepared by making equimolar solution of potassium sulphate and aluminium sulphate in minimum amount of water. A few ml of dil. H2SO4 is added to prevent the hydrolysis of Al2(SO4)3.18H2O. Cooling of the hot saturated solution yields colourless crystals of Potash alum. K2SO4 + Al2(SO4)3.18H2O + 6H2O K2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.24H2O RESULT- Colour of the crystals: Colourless Shape of the crystals: Octahedral. NOTE DRY THE CRYSTALS, PUT THEM IN A ZIP POUCH AND PASTE THEM IN YOUR FILES ON THE BLANK PAGE.

EXPERIMENT No.7 AIM: To separate the coloured components present in a mixture of red and blue ink by ascending paper chromatography and find their Rf values. THEORY: In this type of chromatography a special adsorbent paper (Whatman filter paper) is used. Moisture adsorbed on this Whatman filter paper acts as stationary phase and the solvent acts as the mobile phase. The mixture to be separated is spotted at one end of the paper. This paper is then developed in a particular solvent by placing the paper in a gas jar, taking care that the spot is above the solvent. The solvent rises due to capillary action and the components get separated out as they rise up with the solvent at different rates. The developed paper is called a chromatogram. Rf (retention factor) values are then calculated, which is the ratio of the distance moved by the component to the distance moved by the solvent front. Rf = Distance traveled by the component Distance traveled by the solvent front OBSERVATIONS AND CALCULATIONS: (ON THE BLANK PAGE, USING A PENCIL)
