A student determines the change in oxidation number of nitrogen when


a solution of magnesium nitrate, Mg(NO3)2 , is titrated with aqueous
titanium(III) chloride.
Procedure
Step 1 Using a volumetric flask, prepare 100.0 cm3 of an aqueous solution
containing 0.750 g of solid Mg(NO3)2∙6H2O.
Step 2 Pipette 10.0  cm3 of the solution from Step 1 into a conical flask and
add a few drops of alizarin indicator.
Add 2 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid and heat the mixture.
Step 3 Fill a burette with 0.0850 mol dm–3 aqueous titanium(III) chloride and
titrate the contents of the conical flask from Step 2 while continuing to
heat the mixture.
During the titration, Ti3+ ions are oxidised to TiO2+ ions

Ti3+ + H2O → TiO2+ + 2H+ + e–

Alizarin indicator is green in the presence of aqueous Ti3+ and yellow in the
presence of aqueous TiO2+.
The end‑point of the titration is reached on the addition of 20.70 cm3 of aqueous
titanium(III) chloride.
(i) State the colour change that would be observed at the end‑point of
the titration.
