Purpose:
The purpose of this lab is to determine the percent concentration of peroxide by using
Procedure:
A titration was performed using Permanganate (!MnO4−1) as a titrant and the titrated
! +2. The
substance of the acidic environment of !H2O2 twice. This was titrated twice to yield Mn
Experimental Data:

Conclusions:
The purpose of this lab was to determine the amount of peroxide in the solution, and the
conclusion of this lab was that the unknown percent of peroxide was .23% H
! 2O2 in the solution.

Discussion of Theory:
commonly executed by adding a known solution from a buret into a solution where a partial
amount of the solution is known until the reaction is complete. Then, through stoichiometry the
concentration of the unknown of the solution can be determined. The calculations made support
this lab because the concentration and percent of peroxide were able to be determined.
Error Analysis:
In this experiment, the final solution was meant to be clear. While taking every precaution, the
final solution was still more than needed. In my trial number 2, the solution was the least pink.
The amount of !MnO4− added was 11.4, but could have been less because more than needed was
added to the solution. Other sources of error could have been the precision of reading the buret,
the precision of reading the erlenmeyer flask, or the accuracy of the scale.
Questions:
2. Could this have been done without a solution that needed to be balance using redox?
3. Does the preciseness of the data effect the lab results and if so, by how much?
