NiCKEL Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I know I've already posted a normality question but this thing's really got me confused (doens't help that apparenlty it's obsolete too). http://chemistry.tutorvista.com/inorganic-chemistry/normality.html From this site, the second equation, I have the following data ready: mass of potassium permanganate : 158.034 gmol-1equivalent mass of the permanganate: 31.6068 gmol-1 (molar mass divived by 5) Now I'm not sure which volume value to use. I thought I'd use the titration volume (my titration reached end point at 3.60mL), but that results in a ridiculously high normality. Then maybe it's the volume of the entire batch I made up, but that doesn't make sense because what's forcing me to react it all in the same way? Then the only option left that I can see is the "mass of solute" is the actual mass I put in to make the solution, which again can be either just what I used up in the titration or what I put into the whole batch. (I used about 15g of KMnO4 with 1000mL water for a 0.1M solution Which one is it...? So confusing Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
