Oxidation-reduction titration

Oxidation-reduction titration is a method used to quantify a compound by measuring the amount of an oxidizing or reducing agent required to completely oxidize or reduce the compound using a normal or standard solution of the oxidizing or reducing agent.​ ​

As oxidizing agents, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and iodine (I2) are commonly used whereas sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) and sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4) are often used as reducing agents.

​Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is reduced by oxidation-reduction titration and its color changes from purple to colorless. When the end point is reached, a very small amount of excess MnO4 changes the color to rose-pink, allowing for determination of the end point.​
