CHAPTER 2

DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

This experiment determined the iron content of our water sample, three trials were performed
and 15 ml of water sample for each trial were used for the experiment. Three 15 ml of water
sample
is then poured into clean and dry Erlenmeyer flask for titration. Sulfuric acid added to the three
Erlenmeyer flask with water sample with 3 molar concentration at exactly 8 ml of it and act as
indicator. Sulfuric acid and water sample were mixed. After mixing the mixture is then titrated
with a 0.1 molar concentration of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) solution. Light pink
obtained
which indicate that end point was achieved. We were able to compute the concentration of iron
content in the water sample by recording the potassium permanganate used.
