Oxalate Acid Number. A metal soap solution is treated with a measured excess of organic acid. Potassium oxalate solution is added to precipitate the metal and the total sample is back-titrated with alkaU to determine its acidity. Acidity is expressed ia acid number units, equivalent to mg KOH per g. A neutral soap gives a 2ero acid number, an acidic soap solution a positive acid number, and a basic soap solution a negative acid number. 

Dry air is blown through the solution to remove the excess of ammonia, and the solution is then dissolved in its own volume of absolute alcohol. A sample of this solution is titrated with standard oxalic acid, litmus being used as an outside indicator (Note 3). The amount of oxalic acid (Note 4) necessary to form the acid salt is placed in a large evaporating dish and dissolved in 4 1. of 95 per cent alcohol. The amine solution is then slowly run into the acid with constant stirring. During the addition of the last half of the amine solution, the container must be cooled in order to avoid the formation of the neutral oxalate,... 

The process is one of electrolytic reduction and the apparatus is similar to that shown in Fig. 77, p. 144. It consists of a small porous cell (8 cm. x 2 cm. diam.) surrounded by a narrow beaher (ii cm. X 6 cm. diam.). The oxalic acid, mixed w lth too c.f. 10 per cent sulphuric acid (titrated against standard baryl.a solution] forms the cathode liquid and is placed in Iht beakei. The porous cell is filled with the same strength of siilphuiic acid and foims the anode liquid. The electrodes ara made from 01 dinary clean sheet lead. The anode consists of i thiu strip projecting about two inches from the cell and tliu... 

With a knowledge of the pH at the stoichiometric point and also of the course of the neutralisation curve, it should be an easy matter to select the appropriate indicator for the titration of any diprotic acid for which K1/K2 is at least 104. For many diprotic acids, however, the two dissociation constants are too close together and it is not possible to differentiate between the two stages. If K 2 is not less than about 10 7, all the replaceable hydrogen may be titrated, e.g. sulphuric acid (primary stage — a strong acid), oxalic acid, malonic, succinic, and tartaric acids. 

The excess of oxalic acid is titrated with standard potassium permanganate solution. 

Weigh out accurately 0.3-0.4 g potassium persulphate into a 500 mL conical flask, add 50 mL of 0.05 M-oxalic acid, followed by 0.2 g of silver sulphate dissolved in 20 mL of 10 per cent sulphuric acid. Heat the mixture in a water bath until no more carbon dioxide is evolved (15-20 minutes), dilute the solution to about 100 mL with water at about 40 °C, and titrate the excess of oxalic acid with standard 0.02 M potassium permanganate. 

Suppose that 25.00 mL of a solution of oxalic acid, H2C204 (4), which has two acidic protons, is titrated with 0.100 m NaOH(aq) and that the stoichiometric point is reached when 38.0 mL of the solution of base is added. Find the molarity of the oxalic acid solution. 

L.10 A sample of oxalic acid, H,C,04 (with two acidic protons), of volume 25.17 mL was titrated to the stoichiometric point with 25.67 mL of 0.327 M NaOH(aq). (a) What is the molarity of the oxalic acid (b) Determine the mass of oxalic acid in the solution. 

In this activity, you will first standardize a NaOH solution by using the solution to titrate a known mass of oxalic acid (H2C204). Then, you will use your standardized solution to titrate a sample of vinegar. Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (HC2H302). From your titration data, you will be able to calculate the number of moles and the mass of the acetic acid in your vinegar sample and determine the percent of acetic acid in vinegar. 

The amount of oxalic acid thus decomposed under conditions where all the light is absorbed by the uranyl ion is determined by titrating a sample of the solution with potassium permanganate before and after irradiation. Since... 

A laboratory oven (Note 1) is equipped with as many clay plates or enameled pie plates or trays as it will accommodate and is adjusted to operate at 98-99° (Notes 2 and 3). When the temperature has become constant the plates are removed, rapidly covered with a layer (not over 3-4 mm. deep) of pulverized (Notfe 4) hydrated oxalic acid, and then quickly replaced in the oven. The temperature will drop slightly for a few minutes (Note 5). After the oven has regained the temperature for which it was adjusted, it is heated for two hours longer at this temperature. The product is then removed, crushed if slightly caked, and quickly bottled. The yield from 100 g. of hydrated oxalic acid is 69-70 g. (96-98 per cent of the theoretical amount) (Note 6). The product is 99.5-100 per cent pure, as indicated by titration with standard alkali. 

The strength (concentration) of a titrant can also be expressed as its titer. The titer of a titrant is defined as the weight (in milligrams) of substance titrated that is consumed by 1 mL of the titrant. Thus it is specific to a particular substance titrated, meaning that it is expressed with respect to a specific substance titrated. For example, if the analyst is using an oxalic acid solution to titrate a solution of calcium oxide, the titer of the oxalic acid solution would be expressed as its CaO titer, or the weight of CaO that is consumed by 1 mL of the oxalic acid solution. Titer is typically used for repetitive routine work in which the same titrant is used repetitively to titrate a given analyte.

Procedure Weigh accurately about 6.3 g of pure oxalic acid (AnalaR-Grade) into a 1 litre volumetric flask, dissolve in sufifcient DW and make up the volume upto the mark. Pipette out 25 ml of this solution, add to it 5 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid along the side of the flask, swirl the contents carefully and warm upto 70°C. Titrate this against the potassium permanganate solution from the burette till the pink colour persists for about 20 seconds. 

Procedure Weigh accurately about 1 g of sodium nitrite and dissolve it in DW to make 100 ml in a volumetric flask. Transfer 10 ml of this solution into a mixture of 50 ml of 0.1 N KMn04, 100 ml of water and add 5 ml of sulphuric acid along the side of the flask. Heat the contents to 40°C, allow it to stand for 5 minutes and add 25 ml of 0.1 N oxalic acid. Warm the resulting mixture to about 80°C on a steam-bath and titrate with 0.1 N KMn04 solution. Each ml of 0.1 N potassium permanganate is equivalent to 3.450 mg of NaN02. 

Elemental composition Mn 63.19%, 0 36.81%. The pure oxide may be characterized by x-ray crystallography. The Mn02 content in pyrolusite may be measured by titration. An excess of a standard solution of oxalic acid is added to a solution of Mn02 in sulfuric acid. After all solid Mn02 dissolves, the excess oxalic acid is measured by titrating against a standard solution of potassium permanganate (see Reactions). 

Oxidation processes involving the subsequent titration of an excess of ferrous sulphate,2 oxalic acid (in the presence of silver sulphate as catalyst), titanous chloride,4 or of the quantity of iodine liberated from potassium iodide,5 are also available but are less satisfactory. In the last-named method a large excess of potassium iodide is necessary to obtain complete reaction in a short time. The reaction may be accelerated by the addition of potassium chloride6 or ammonium chloride with 20 per cent, by weight of the latter salt present a large excess of the iodide is not necessary and the liberated iodine may be titrated after fifteen minutes.7... 

Selenious acid readily decomposes potassium permanganate, but analytical results are untrustworthy in the presence of more than a limited quantity of sulphuric acid.1 The oxidation should be carried out at 50° C., a known quantity of 0-lN potassium permanganate being used and the excess determined either by means of standard oxalic acid solution or by electrometric titration with ferrous sulphate. In the presence of tellurium, the latter is also oxidised and should be determined in a separate sample by oxidation with potassium di-chromate, which does not oxidise the selenium, and the necessary deduction can then be made.2... 

Tellurous acid cannot be determined by oxidation with potassium permanganate in acidified solution, but in alkaline solution accurate results may be obtained by cooling to 8°-10° C. after the oxidation and slowly acidifying with dilute sulphuric acid, with continual stirring. Excess of standard oxalic acid is then added and after warming to 50° C. the remaining excess is titrated with permanganate.6... 

Telluric acid may also be estimated alkalimetrieally 2 by the addition of a large excess of standard barium hydroxide, or sodium hydroxide containing barium chloride, when barium tellurate is quantitatively precipitated. The excess of the hydroxide is determined by titration with oxalic acid, phenolphthalein being used as indicator. 

Solutions of telluric acid give a quantitative precipitation of barium tellurate, BaTe04.3H20, on the addition of barium hydroxide solution, and the use of a standard barium hydroxide solution, followed by titration of the excess of alkali with a standard solution of oxalic acid, using phenolphthalein as indicator, forms a convenient process for... 

The equivalence point is the ideal (theoretical) result we seek in a titration. What we actually measure is the end point, which is marked by a sudden change in a physical property of the solution. In Reaction 7-1, a convenient end point is the abrupt appearance of the purple color of permanganate in the flask. Prior to the equivalence point, all permanganate is consumed by oxalic acid, and the titration solution remains colorless. After the equivalence point, unreacted Mn04 accumulates until there is enough to see. The first trace of purple color is the end point. The better your eyes, the closer will be your measured end point to the true equivalence point. Here, the end point cannot exactly equal the equivalence point, because extra Mn04, beyond that needed to react with oxalic acid, is required to exhibit purple color. 

The difference between the end point and the equivalence point is an inescapable titration error. By choosing a physical property whose change is easily observed (such as pH or the color of an indicator), we find that the end point can be very close to the equivalence point. We estimate the titration error with a blank titration, in which we carry out the same procedure without analyte. For example, we can titrate a solution containing no oxalic acid to see how much Mn04 is needed to produce observable purple color. We then subtract this volume of Mn04 from the volume observed in the analytical titration.
