Permanganometry

Permanganometry is one of the techniques used in quantitative analysis in chemistry. It is a redox titration and involves the use of permanganates and is used to measure the amount of analyte present in unknown chemical samples. It involves two steps, namely the titration of the analyte with potassium permanganate solution and then the standardization of potassium permanganate solution with standard sodium oxalate solution. The titration involves volumetric manipulations to prepare the analyte solutions.
