Best Answer

The permanganate ion, MnO4- purple in colour. The sulfuric acid is added to create acidic conditions. In acidic conditions, the MnO4- gets reduced to Mn2+ which is colourless. Therefore, judging by the colour change, we can figure out how much of the potassium permanganate has been used.

Why sulfuric acid is used in redox titrations?

Dilute sulfuric acid H2SO4 is an indifferent acid to oxidising substances, while HCl (potential +1.36V) is a reductant and HNO3 (potential +0.96V) is an oxidant.

Is dilute sulphuric acid a compound?

Sulfuric acid itself is a compound with the formula H2SO4. However the word "dilute" means that the H2SO4 is dissolved in water, so it is a mixture.

How do you dilute a 10 M H2SO4 to 1M H2SO4?

Remember M1V1=M2V2, where M is molarity and V is volume. M1/M2=V2/V1, 10/1=v2/v1, For diluting the acid, we can add acid to water. So, assuming that 10M H2SO4 is having 1ml of water, we should add 1M of H2So4 to 10ml of water.
