Question

Suppose a student needs to standardize a sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3,Na2S2O3, solution for a titration experiment. To do so, he or she will react it with a solution of iodine. The student adds a 1.00 mL1.00 mL aliquot of 0.0200 M KIO30.0200 M KIO3 solution to a flask, followed by 3 mL3 mL of distilled water, 0.2 g0.2 g of solid KI,KI, and 1 mL H2SO4.1 mL H2SO4. The student then titrates the solution with sodium thiosulfate solution in order to determine the exact concentration of Na2S2O3.Na2S2O3. The end point of the titration is reached after 0.90 mL0.90 mL of Na2S2O3Na2S2O3 is dispensed from a microburet. What is the concentration of the standard sodium thiosulfate solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.133

Explanation:

reaction between KIO3 and KI in acidic medium

IO3⁻ +5I⁻ +6h⁺ → 3I₂ + 3H₂O

I₂ reacts with thiosulphate

NaS₂O₃  → 2Na⁺ + S₂O₃²⁻

net reaction

IO⁻₃ + 6H⁺ + 6S₂O₃³⁻ → I⁻ + 3S₄O₆²⁻ + 3H₂O

mole of KIO₃

= molarity x volume

$\frac{0.02mol}{L} *0.01L$

= 0.00002mol

a mole of KIO₃ has reaction with 6 mol of S₂O₃²⁻

= 2x6x10⁻⁵

= 0.00012 mol

volume = 0.90 ml

1 ml = 0.001L

0.90ML  = 0.0009L

to get concentration,

molarity/volume

= 0.00012/0.0009

= 0.133m
