EXPERIMENT NO. 3
TITLE OXIDATION STATES OF MANGANESE
DATE 19TH NOVEMBER 2019
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this experiment, we are able to observe the colour of manganese complexes
with different oxidation state
INTRODUCTION
Manganese element is one of transition metal that shows different colour depending on oxidation
state from +2 to +7. This is because the variable oxidation states give different partially filled d
sublevel electrons for its central metal ion. For manganese element, different oxidation states has
different colour. At the end, in this experiment, we aim to identify and predict the number of
oxidation states by observing the colour of manganese compound after mixing the potassium
permanganate (KMnO4) with several other compounds.
MATERIALS
Chemicals : Sulphuric acid, H2SO4 (3.0M), sodium hydroxide, NaOH (2.0M), potassium
permanganate, (KMnO4) (0.01M), sodium bisulphide, NaHSO3 (0.02M) and
sodium bisulphate, NaHSO4 (0.02M).
Apparatus : Test tube, graduated cylinder and test tube rack
4. KMnO4 + NaHSO3
7. KMnO4 + NaHSO4
DISCUSSION
This reaction between potassium permanganate with sodium hydroxide and sodium bisulphide
has reduced the +7 oxidation number of manganese to +6 oxidation number. As the result of this
redox reaction,the initial purple solution turned to green solution showing that the manganate
(VII) ion reduced to manganate (VI) ion, MnO42-
Below is the equations that described the redox chemistry observed.
2 MnO4- + 3 OH- + HSO3- → 2 MnO42- + SO42- + 2 H2O
Reaction of KMnO4 + NaOH + NaHSO4 , KMnO4 + H2SO4 + NaHSO4 & KMnO4 + NaHSO4
For all these, there is no reaction occur between the reagent as the colour of potassium
permanganate remains purple till end of experiment indicating that the oxidation number of
KMnO4 has not been reduced or oxidized. Therefore, the solution remain the same as the initial
solution colour which purple because of potassium permanganate(VII) has +7 oxidation number.
CONCLUSIONS
Different manganese complexes oxidation number shows different coloured solution such as +7
oxidation number shows purple solution, +6 oxidation number shows turquoise solution, +4
oxidation number shows dark red solution and +2 oxidation number of manganese complex
appeared in light red solution.
