You are to determine, by titration, the change in oxidation number of a transition metal ion, M2+, when reacted with acidi ed potassium manganate(VII). PMT FA 1 is 0.0200 mol dm3 potassium manganate(VII), KMnO4. FA 2 is 0.0530 mol dm3 transition metal salt, MSO4. FA 3 is 1.0 mol dm3 sulfuric acid, H2SO4. (a) MethodFill the burette with FA 1. Pipette 25.0 cm3 of FA 2 into the conical flask. Use the measuring cylinder to add 25 cm3 of FA 3 into the conical flask. Carry out a rough titration and record your burette readings in the space below. Add FA 1 until the contents of the flask turn a permanent pale pink colour. The rough titre iscm3. Carry out as many accurate titrations as you think necessary to obtain consistent results. Make certain any recorded results show the precision of your practical work. Record below, in a suitable form, all of your burette readings and the volume of FA 1 added in each accurate titration. II III IV VI VII [7] (b) From your accurate titration results, obtain a suitable value to be used in your calculations. Show clearly how you have obtained this value. 25.0 cm3 of FA 2 requiredcm3 of FA 1. [1]UCLES 2014 9701/33/M/J/14<br />
 PMT (c) Calculations Show your working and appropriate signi cantgures in thenal answer to each step of your calculations. (i) Calculate the number of moles of potassium manganate(VII) present in the volume of FA 1 calculated in (b). (ii) Calculate the number of moles of MSO4 in 25.0 cm3 of FA 2. moles of KMnO4 =mol (iii) Use your answers to (i) and (ii) to calculate the number of moles of MSO4 that react with 1 mole of KMnO4. moles of MSO4 in 25.0 cm3 =mol moles of MSO4 =mol (iv) Two possible equations for the reaction of acidi ed KMnO4 with MSO4 are below. equation 1 equation 2 2KMnO4 + 10MSO4 + 8H2SO4K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 5M2(SO4)3 + 8H2O 2KMnO4 + 5MSO4 + 8H2SO4K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 5M(SO4)2 + 8H2O State and explain which of these two equations is consistent with your answer to (iii).(v) Use your answer to (iv) to state the oxidation number of the transition metal M in the product of the reaction.[5] [Total: 13] II III IVUCLES 2014 9701/33/M/J/14 [Turn over<br />
