Potassium permanganate is a potent oxidizing agent that finds its use in various chemical reactions. Its strong oxidizing properties are evident when it participates in a redox reaction. During this reaction, the dark purple solution of potassium permanganate turns colorless and then changes to a brown or pink solution. This reaction can be conducted in both acidic and basic mediums. Oxalic acid has a polymorphic structure and appears as a white crystalline solid. When it is dissolved in water, it becomes a colorless solution. It is a reducing agent that is often used as a chelating agent with oxalate as its conjugate base. In today's experiment, we will perform a precise chemical process called titration.

I. Introduction
Potassium permanganate is a potent oxidizing agent that finds its use in various chemical reactions. Its
strong oxidizing properties are evident when it participates in a redox reaction. During this reaction,
the dark purple solution of potassium permanganate turns colorless and then changes to a brown or pink
solution. This reaction can be conducted in both acidic and basic mediums. Oxalic acid has a
polymorphic structure and appears as a white crystalline solid. When it is dissolved in water, it becomes
a colorless solution. It is a reducing agent that is often used as a chelating agent with oxalate as its

To calculate the normality of KMnO4 for 3 trials, we first need to calculate the volume of KMnO4 by
subtracting the initial volume from the current volume. ((initial and final volume data are recorded

In the second test, it is clear to observe the solution's color is darker than the others. This happened
because during practice, in the KMNO

Comment:
In the end of the titration experiment, the light or pale pink solution appears instead of the clear solution
during the first period of the process. One problem needs to be mentioned is the color of trial 1, it is
darker than the two remaining trials. The reason for this is our team is careless of controlling the faucet
of the burette.
The results of this titration may be different from the published literature because the concentration and
the amount of many solutions that we use are not the same as others. Furthermore, there are a lot of
causes that affect the procedure.
