5. POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is used primarily to control taste and odors‚ remove color‚ control biological growth in treatment plants‚ and remove iron and manganese. In a secondary role‚ potassium permanganate may be useful in controlling the formation of THMs and other DBPs by oxidizing precursors and reducing the demand for other disinfectants (Hazen and Sawyer‚ 1992). The mechanism of reduced DBPs may be as simple as moving the point of chlorine application further

effect and experiment. This experiment teaches the students how to determine density‚ volume‚ and percentage errors. OBJECTIVE The objective of this experiment is to determine the order with respect to permanganate ion and to oxalic acid concentration for the reaction of potassium permanganate and oxalic acid solutions. Other goals include‚ writing a rate equation and determining the effect of increased temperature on the rate of this reaction. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT The materials required

Determination of Iron by Reaction with Permanganate-A Redox Titration Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to find the percentage of iron in an unknown iron oxide sample which could be determined through titration with a standard solution of potassium permanganate. Success in this analysis requires careful preparation and attention to detail. Performing this experiment also provides practice at titrations. The overall reaction is: 8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5e- Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O Theory:

Potassium Potassium‚ also known by the symbol “K”‚ has an atomic number of 19 and an atomic mass of 39.0983. The atomic number of 19 implies that it contains 19 protons‚ 19 electrons‚ and 19 neutrons. It is found in Group 1‚ the alkali metals‚ and the fourth family on the periodic table. Because it is located in group one‚ it is one of the most highly reactive and electropositive metals and is a base. Potassium is a solid‚ silvery white metal at 298 Kelvin‚ and has a melting point of 336.53 Kelvin;

Lethal injection is the practice of injecting a person with a fatal dose of drugs (typically abarbiturate‚ paralytic‚ and potassium solution) for the express purpose of causing the immediate death of the subject. The main application for this procedure is capital punishment‚ but the term may also be applied in a broad sense to euthanasia and suicide. It kills the person by first putting the person to sleep‚ and then stopping the breathing and heart‚ respectively. In 1970’s the people used Intravenous

diffusion was demonstrated with two solids and an agar gel petri dish. One crystal of potassium permanganate and one crystal of methylene blue were placed on either side of an agar gel petri dish. The purpose of this experiment was to determine which of the crystals would diffuse across the gel more. So the question is‚ which solid would have a higher rate of diffusion through the agar‚ methylene blue or potassium permanganate? Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high region of concentration to

The objective of the experiment was to titrate the solutions to determine the molarity of potassium permanganate. We had to dilute the stock solutions to a specific molarity for the experiment. Using the same method‚ an unknown solution called “120x” was titrated

The Effect of Molecular Weight on the Rate of Diffusion of Potassium permanganate (KMNO4)‚ Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and Methylene blue ¹ ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was determined using the Agar-water Gel Test. One drop of potassium permanganate (KMNO4)‚ potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and methylene blue were used. Each substance has a respective molecular weight of 158 g/mol‚ 294g/mol and 374 g/mol. The diameters (in millimeter) were measured

According to Elson (2000)‚ potassium is one of the most common prescribed minerals. This mineral is crucial to cardiovascular and nerve functions. When potassium is low fatigue is the most common symptom. The early symptoms include muscle weakness‚ slow reflexes‚ and dry skin or acne; these initial problems may progress to nervous disorders‚ insomnia‚ slow or irregular heartbeat‚ and loss of gastrointestinal tone. A sudden loss of potassium may lead to cardiac arrhythmia. Low potassium may impair glucose
