ABSTRACT
Graduate and post graduate students find much more difficulty during the concept of the balancing redox chemical equation in acidic or basic medium. Teachers are well aware of the importance of the balancing redox chemical equation in both medium and also teaching difficulty associated with it. In an attempt to improving the understanding of the balancing the redox chemical equation with reduced difficulty, a mathematical approach that provides easier understanding has been developed and successfully employed in graduate and post graduate students. In this study, relation between an oxidising agent (Oxidant) and reducing agent (reductant) can be employed in redox chemical titration, using potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is an oxidant itself act as the indicator, during the titration of Cr (III) ion, as reducing agent with KMnO4, the second titration oxidation of H2O2, is used as a reducing agent against the KMnO4. Data obtained from titrations will lead to balancing each redox chemical equation in an acidic or basic medium.
Keywords: Oxidising agent, potassium permanganate, Reducing agent, Redox titration.
