PLEASE EXPLAIN ME THE CONCEPT OF REDOX TITRATION, DOUBLE TITRATION AND BACK TITRATION IN DETAIL.

Dear student,

REDOX TITRATION: deals with the reaction involving oxidation and reduction between analyte and titrant. Titration involves the use of redox indicators.
Redox titration relies on the oxidation of analyte ( solution of unknown concentration). Titrant ( solution of known concentration) is often an oxidising agent.
Eg of redox titration; Treating unknown concentration of Fe sample with known concentration of KMnO4​.
Known concentration of KMnO4​ is taken in burette and is titrated against unknown sample of Fe taken in conical flask. Equivalence point is indicated by faint pink colour. At equivalence point: E(forward) = E(reverse)  .
Reaction involved is-
Reduction half equation:MnO4-+ 8H+ + 5e- Mn2++4H2O
Oxidation half equation: Fe2+  Fe3+ +e-
Overall equation: MnO4- + 8H++ 5Fe2+  Mn2+ + 4H2O + 5Fe3+

For remaining queries we request you to post them in separate threads to have rapid assistance from our experts.
