In a REDOX titration, one specie is oxidized while the other is reduced. The concentration of methanol is 0.012  mol L-1. Methanol is the oxidizing agent while permanganate is the reducing agent.

The average titre value is; [tex]\frac{7.95 + 7.10 + 7.00 + 7.10}{4}[/tex] = 7.29 mL

Equation of the reaction is:

[tex]4MnO4- + 12H+ + 5CH3OH ----> 4Mn2+ + 11H2O + 5HCOOH[/tex]

Concentration of oxidizing agent = CA = ?

Concentration of reducing agent = CB = 0.0021 mol L-1

Volume of oxidizing agent =  VA= 7.29 mL

Volume of reducing agent = VB = 50.00 mL

Number of moles of oxidizing agent NA = 4

Number of moles of reducing agent NB = 5

Note that NA and NB are obtained from the balanced reaction equation

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

CAVANB = CBVBNA

CA =  CBVBNA/VANB

CA = 0.0021 mol L-1 * 50.00 mL * 4/7.29 mL * 5

CA= 0.012  mol L-1
