ESTIMATION OF THE AMOUNT OF
FERROUS AMMONIUM SULPHATE USING
STANDARD POTTASIUM DICHROMATE SOLUTION
POTENTIOMETRICALLY
4. What is a potentiometer?
It is a device or circuit uesd for comparing potential sources.
Fe3+ + e-
10.What bis the reaction that occurs b/w FAS & pottasium dichromate?
Acidified pottasium dichromate oxidises ferrous sulphate to ferric
sulphate & itself getsreduced to chromic sulphate i.e. redox reaction.
12.Why is the beaker solution gradually changes into green during the course of
titration?
When FAS, in breaker reacts with k2Cr207 to Cr2(S04)3 which is a
green sait solution.
13.Why is the EMF rises steeply soon after the equivalence point?
This is because,the potentional of the solution before the
equivalence point is determined by Fe2+.......> Fe3+ system only i.e., 0.75v, while at
equivalence point, it is determined by both Fe3+ and Cr2O72- is = 1.04V. But
beyond equivalence point, the potentional of the solution is determined by
Cr2O72-/ Cr3+ only i.e. = 1.33V. Therefore, just after the equivalence point, the
potentional of the solution.
