I am doing a chemistry report related to redox titrations (using $\ce{KMnO4}$ as the titrant), and one section of the report asks me to explain what would occur if I were to use sodium permanganate ($\ce{NaMnO4}$) instead of potassium permanganate ($\ce{KMnO4}$), and more importantly, what I would have to do differently in my experiment if I were to use this new chemical.
What I know as of now.
- Sodium permanganate is not widely used because it is more expensive and is much more difficult to create than potassium permanganate.
- Molar mass is different when performing stoichiometric equations, which leads to different results when calculating certain values.
I looked online and found that the chemical is "hygroscopic;" however, I don't know if this changes anything in the experiment.
Is there anything else I can "change" in my experiment if I were to use $\ce{NaMnO4}$ instead of $\ce{KMnO4}$?
