####34. An aqueous solution containing
formula weight was treated with an excess of KI solution. The solution was acidified with . The liberated consumed of thiosulphate solution decolourise the blue starch-iodine complex. Calculate the molarity of the sodium thiosulphate solution.
Show Answer
Solution:
- The balanced equations are
(1)
(2)
Given, mass of oxalic acid added
So, millimoles of oxalic acid added
Now from equation 2
Millimoles of used to react with oxalic acid=1 and Millimoles of required initially
Mass of required initially
Alternative Method
moles of moles of (let)
and of of oxalic acid
So,
Hence,
moles of
Hence mass of .
