How to repeat titration?
« on: February 11, 2016, 10:04:17 AM »
I have to do a titration of oxalic acid with KMnO4, after i get the pilot reading from colorless to light pink do i throw the contents from the flask and add 10ML heat it again or pipette 10ml in the same flask and heat that?

If there is already pink visible, how are going to know what excess of the permanganate was added?

Titration is an exact procedure.

The exact quantities of everything must be known for the procedure to give useful information.

Re-using a dirty reaction vessel immediately throws random quanties of random species into the equation, making the results useless.

Always use a clean vessel for any titration procedure.
