Potassium oxalate is used in protein titration to precipitate proteins by forming insoluble calcium oxalate complexes. This allows for the precise determination of protein concentration in a sample, as the protein content can be quantified by measuring the decrease in calcium concentration caused by the formation of the calcium oxalate complexes.
In formol titration, amino acids with formaldehyde are titrated with NaOH to measure the amount of amino acids in the solution. Potassium is also necessary for this titration and is supplied by using potassium oxalate. If calcium is present, it will react with the NaOH to form Ca(OH)2. This will make it appear to need more of the NaOH solution (and overestimate the titration). Potassium oxalate will chelate the calcium, and prevent it from reacting (forming calcium oxalate).
If the temperature is too low (below 55 degrees celsius), the interaction between the oxalate and the potassium permanganate will move too slow as to be used as a practical lab experiment. *** Above 60 degrees celsius, oxalate acid begins to decompose, so it's important to stay in this range.
Zinc metal is added during the titration of ferrous oxalate and potassium permanganate to ensure that all the permanganate ions are used to oxidize the ferrous ions and not any other substances present in the solution. The zinc reduces any excess permanganate ions to colorless Mn2+ ions, allowing for a more accurate determination of the endpoint of the titration.
Sulfuric acid is used in titration of oxalate ion as it reacts with oxalate ion to form a white precipitate of calcium oxalate, which makes it easier to detect the end point of the titration. The strong acidity of sulfuric acid also helps in preventing the hydrolysis of the calcium oxalate precipitate.
HCl is not used to acidify the media in potassium permanganate titration because it can react with potassium permanganate, which can interfere with the titration results. Sulfuric acid is usually preferred as it does not react with potassium permanganate and ensures accurate titration results.

Different primary standards used in titration are as follows 1. Acids - constant boiling HCl, benzoic acid 2. Base - sodium carbonate, HgO, Borax 3. Oxidizing agent - Potassium Dichromates, Potassium bromate, potassium iodate, iodine 4. Reducing agent - iodine, sodium oxalate, arsenous oxide

Potassium permanganate is used as a self-indicator in the titration of oxalic acid because the initial pink color of potassium permanganate is decolorized in the presence of oxalic acid due to its reducing properties. The endpoint of the titration is reached when all the oxalic acid has reacted with the potassium permanganate, causing the pink color to persist. This change in color helps in determining the equivalence point of the titration.
If the temperature is too low (below 55 degrees celsius), the interaction between the oxalate and the potassium permangante will move too slow as to be used as a practical lab experiment. *** Above 60 degrees celsius, oxalate acid begins to decompose, so its important to stay in this range If the temperature is too low (below 55 degrees celsius), the interaction between the oxalate and the potassium permangante will move too slow as to be used as a practical lab experiment. *** Above 60 degrees celsius, oxalate acid begins to decompose, so its important to stay in this range
Potassium permangante, being a very strong oxidizing agent, oxidizes both the Fe2+ ion and the oxalate ion. Redox reactions are shown below: Oxalate oxidation: 2MnO4- + 16H+ + 5C2O42- ---> 2Mn2+ + 8H2O + 10CO2 Iron(II) oxidation: MnO4- + 8H+ + 5Fe2+ ---> Mn2+ + 4H2O + 5Fe3+ Moreover, if one needs to determine the exact percentage of oxalate and ferrous ions in solution, a titration is carried out using the permanganate, which will react with both the oxalate and ferrous ions. But, the carbon dioxide is liberated from the soution now, and zinc is added whch reduces the Iron(III) back to Iron(II). Another titration is then carried out using the permanganate, which gives a reading for the Iron(II) in solution only.
To calculate the molarity of potassium iodate in a redox titration, you can use the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between potassium iodate and the reducing agent. By knowing the volume of the reducing agent used in the titration and the molarity of the reducing agent, you can determine the molarity of the potassium iodate. The equation should be balanced in terms of moles of the substances involved.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used in the titration of Mohr's salt and potassium dichromate because it reacts with Mohr's salt to form ferric chloride and with potassium dichromate to form chromium chloride. These reactions result in the formation of a color change in the solution which allows for the end point of the titration to be easily detected.
Potassium iodide is used in iodometric titration as a source of iodide ions. It reacts with iodine to form triiodide ions, which are then titrated with a standard solution of thiosulfate to determine the concentration of the oxidizing agent.
