An unknown concentration of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3, is used to titrate a standardized solution of KIO3 with excess KI present. Suppose 15.55 mL of the Na2S2O3 solution is required to titrate the iodine formed from 21.45 mL of 0.0135 M KIO3. What is the molarity of the Na2S2O3 solution?

0.112M is molarity of the Na₂S₂O₃ solution

Explanation:

First, the KIO₃ reacts with KI as follows:

KIO3 (aq) + 5 KI (aq) + 6 HCl (aq) → 3 I2 (s) + 6 KCl (aq) + 3 H2O (l)

Then, the I₂ produced reacts with the Na₂S₂O₃ as follows:

2 Na2S2O3 + I2 → Na2S4O6 + 2 NaI

Thus, to solve this question, we need to obtain the moles of KIO₃ that react, then, the moles of I₂ produced -Using the chemical reaction- to find the initial moles of Na₂S₂O₃. With these moles and the volume we can find molarity of the solution:

Moles KIO₃:

21.45mL = 0.02145L * (0.0135mol/L) = 2.896x10⁻⁴ moles KIO₃

Moles I₂:

2.896x10⁻⁴ moles KIO₃ * (3mol I₂ / 1mol KIO₃) = 8.687x10⁻⁴ moles I₂

Moles Na₂S₂O₃:

8.687x10⁻⁴ moles I₂ * (2mol Na₂S₂O₃ / 1mol I₂) = 1.737x10⁻³ moles Na₂S₂O₃

As the volume of the titrated solution is 15.55mL, molarity is:

1.737x10⁻³ moles Na₂S₂O₃ / 0.01555L =

the food using pesticides in the future will harm you by giving you diseases like cancer or something since they have things that we should not eat in it like chemicals or pesticides. that is why organic food is more expensive because they take the time to make it right and healthy for you to eat.
